The American poet, Adrienne Rich, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 82. I went looking for an audio or video of her reading one of her poems and came upon a nearly hour long audio of Rich speaking at Wellesley College nine years ago. You get a better understanding of her work by listening to her read and talk about it.
We have The Fact of a Doorframe: Poems Selected and New, 1950-1984 and Driving into the Wreck: Poems, 1971-1972 [both 811.54 RIC]. The title poem, "Diving into the Wreck," is the poem for which she is perhaps best known.
