Adrienne Rich's Later Poems Selected and New displays the strong
trajectory of the work of one of the most distinguished artists of
American letters. After her death Rich left a manuscript that
speaks for her concern with a poetics of relation along with a
passionate attention to craft. In addition to her selections from
twelve volumes of published work, Later Poems Selected and New
contains ten powerful new poems. Among these, "From Strata" is a
kind of archaeology of the present day; "Itinerary" searches for an
"indefinite future" in a menaced landscape; "For the Young
Anarchists" offers a trope of skilled labour for political action;
and the haunting voice of the "Teethsucking Bird" reminds us of
what we have been told to forget. These and other poems look back
into history and forward into the future while engaging with
contemporary moments. Rich's singular command of language continues
to the end.
