Her poems are foundational texts of our time, and, in the future, when readers want to understand the great reconsideration of gender and power that reshaped American life, it is to Rich's poems that they will turn.
Mark Doty, American poet
Since receiving the Yale Younger Poets Award in 1951 at the age of 21, Adrienne Rich has not stopped writing in her distinct voice, with strength and conviction. Her eloquent and visionary writings have shaped the world of poetry as well as feminist and political thought. Author of more than 16 books of poetry and five books of non-fiction, Rich’s amazing ability to bring together the personal and the political has engaged readers for more than five decades. Her poetry and essays have been given every award possible to an American writer, including the National Book Award and the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Literature from the National Book Foundation. Please join us for an extraordinary opportunity to hear one of America’s unique and powerful voices, Adrienne Rich.
