Although best known as a poet, Adrienne Rich is a versatile
critic and a gifted writer of nonfiction and critical theory.
Writing in the oracular tradition of Whitman and Dickinson, she
affirms the will to change as an enduring commitment in her life
and poetry.One of America's most outspoken literary figures, her
courage in speaking out against injustice in the United States and
worldwide has earned her the kind of international political
following few American poets enjoy. This book is a much-needed
comprehensive study of her life and career. It covers the full
progression of her poetry from the beginning through her most
recent work. In doing so, it clarifies her entire poetic output and
illuminates her concepts of nation, the female body, power, and
women's sexuality.
The volume covers the full progression of her poetry from the
beginning through her most recent work. It clarifies her entire
poetic output and illuminates her concepts of nation, the female
body, power, and women's sexuality. In doing so, it draws on a vast
body of literary, theoretical, and cultural scholarship. While the
book offers a thorough study of Rich and her works, it also
examines the critical reaction that her controversial writings have
engendered.
