The first scholarly study of Adrienne Rich’s full career examines
the poet through her developing approach to the transformative
potential of relationships Adrienne Rich is best known as a
feminist poet and activist. This iconic status owes especially to
her work during the 1970s, while the distinctive political and
social visions she achieved during the second half of her career
remain inadequately understood. In Outward, poet, scholar, and
novelist Ed Pavlić considers Rich’s entire oeuvre to argue that
her most profound contribution in poems is her emphasis on not only
what goes on “within us” but also what goes on “between
us.” Guided by this insight, Pavlić shows how Rich’s most
radical work depicts our lives—from the public to the
intimate—in shared space rather than in owned privacy. Informed
by Pavlić’s friendship and correspondence with Rich, Outward
explores how her poems position visionary possibilities to contend
with cruelty and violence in our world. Employing an innovative
framework, Pavlić examines five kinds of solitude reflected in
Rich’s poems: relational solitude, social solitude, fugitive
solitude, dissident solitude, and radical solitude. He traces the
importance of relationships to her early writing before turning to
Rich’s explicitly antiracist and anticapitalist work in the
1980s, which culminates with her most extensive sequence, “An
Atlas of the Difficult World.” Pavlić concludes by examining the
poet’s twenty-first century work and its depiction of
relationships that defy historical divisions based on region, race,
class, gender, and sexuality. A deftly written engagement in which
one poet works within the poems of another, Outward reveals the
development of a major feminist thinker in successive phases as
Rich furthers her intimate and erotic, social and political reach.
Pavlić illuminates Rich’s belief that social divisions and the
power of capital inform but must never fully script our identities
or our relationships to each other.
