Adrienne Rich, was a light to many in the historical sense of justice and observation. She was a poet first,however, and as poet, like all artists their work is about communication. Her words distilled and exposed much of the contentions of a women's authentic "soul".
Poetry has the uncanny ability to see into the values of the era in which the Poet lived. But Adrienne Rich
had the genius to not only comment but transcend to the common face of human beings, where gender dissolves into the the more powerful "Truth".
It was a painful life, but took all in...One of her greatest poems was "The Door" Here is wisdom and truth, all in a few words.
Thank you poet Rich for your, life and your shared gifts....we know an artists life is not easy and worth every struggle and effort to herself and community.
