Collected Poems: 1950–2012

Rich is astounding. The deep consideration of her time and place, the wonderful images and deeply voiced emotion. Integrity is one of my favorite poems of all time, but there are dozens of her pieces that I marked in my book.

For a poetry class in OLLI by UTMB in Galveston TX.Our great teacher is a reale “feminist” a chose for this semester great women poet. It was great eyes opening . Adrienne Rich is also our generation and lived in times of our revolutions .

RenownedOr should be

An extraordinary collection, revealing the astonishing awareness, intelligence, integrity that Rich brought to every level of reality, excluding nothing, with political courage, clarity and compassion. Among the most beautiful and powerful bodies of poetry ever written.

The late Adrienne Rich, one of the great poets of the English language, drove herself fiercely through severe physical pain that lasted almost her entire life. She lived and wrote with passion. Her poems, collected in this volume, put the whole range of her gift on display. Her life as a poet and her daily existence are here inextricably linked--bravo!Masterful.

Adrienne Rich is well known as one of the most important intellectuals in the 1960s-1970s Feminist movement. She was also a marvelous poet. This book shows her refined, deep and powerful poetry, her voice in favor to social justice, and her ideas about identity and sexuality.

Only 4 stars because the copy I received had someone’s greasy fingerprints on the cover and the flaps were bent and folded. 5 stars for the beautiful lifetime of content, though.

I have loved this poet all my life and it's nice I hwave everything in one compact volume
