Description

Relationships - partings/reconciliations, solidarities/ruptures, trust/betrayal, exposure/withdrawal - are the deep fabric of this forceful work from the late Adrienne Rich, the "central voice inthe feminist movement" (The Daily Telegraph). In the intimate address of "Axel Avakar" the black humour of "Quarto" and the underground journey of "Powers of Recuperation", compressed lyrics flash among scenarios where images, dialogues, blues and song spiral into political visions.

Reviews

Rich is one of the greatest American poets of the past half century...attested to both by the extraordinary power of her poems and by the laurels she's racked up.... the events of our blood-dimmed decade have afforded Rich a subject for some of her strongest material.--Sara Marcus
