pickEven as someone who reads poetry every day I don‘t find Adrianne Rich‘s work easy to parse. Her pieces are dense & rich & have new layers of meaning that reveal themselves with each subsequent reading. It was important to Rich for people to understand the progression of her work so each poem she published was dated & the editors of this collection really emphasized that. I made that progression my focus, but I know I‘ll go back to this & reread.
pickThis is lovely. Obviously. #SundayBuddyRead @TheBookHippie thank you so much for sending this and also for picking her biography.
#DoubleSpin June @TheAromaofBooks I should never have put a giant book of poetry on my June list. Lesson learned.
Thank you so much @TheBookHippie for this wonderful volume of poetry! It was fun to win something ! I am looking forward to reading the introduction as well. Apologies for not posting sooner. I have so enjoyed being immersed in Rich‘s world & seeing that world in our group discussions.part of me feels sad to finish this up, but our May book looks to be a relief! #sundaybuddyread

@TheBookHippie Thank you for being a generous and dedicated host! And for all the diligent research you do for us each week! This is what just arrived. (The pushy cat was already here). It‘s a paperback in perfect condition, and the title I expect based on your post… does it look right to you? I‘m super excited about it! So I wouldn‘t worry either way 😄
