Product Description

Adrienne Rich described as 'the elder stateswoman of American poetry' (Jeanette Winterson, The Daily Telegraph) here offers a new collection of passionately fierce yet musical poems. The title poem, in a young schoolteacher's voice, evokes the lessons that children ('Not of course here') learn amid violence and hatred, 'when the whole town flinches/ blood on the undersole thickening to glass.' 'Usonian Journals 2000' intercuts faces and conversations, building to a dystopic/ utopic vision. Rich traces the imprint of a public crisis on individual experience: personal lives bent by collective realities, language itself held to account.

About the Author

Adrienne Rich is one of the most provocative voices on politics of sexuality, race, language, power, and women's culture. The author of almost twenty volumes of poetry, she is a widely recognised and celebrated poet.
