Truly awe-inspiring, thoughtful, & beautiful poetry. I won’t even pretend that I entirely understood all or most of it, but I know that hopefully I’ll learn a little more each time I pick it up again. It asks a lot of questions & makes me interested to find out about quite a few different things. Definitely a poet I want to read more of. I love what Margaret Atwood said in her review of the book in the New York Times Book Review, “One of those rare books that forces you to decide not just what you think about it, but what you think about yourself.” Entirely agree. Isn’t that what reading should do? Writing too. The things we read, watch, etc should encourage us to reexamine what we know, what we thought we knew, & who we are. 💜 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surviving the Wreck *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2011* You must be willing to dive into your own wreck, get soaking wet, risk getting the bends, and triumph in surviving when you jumpinto Adrienne Rich's poems from the early 70's. If there were no date noted on this book, one could place them in the present.Rich's metaphors hold true even though forty years have passed. Today, my favorite is the one about Talking to the Dead. I think because itreminds us of all those lost to us as we approach year's end: the ones we loved and the ones we didn't even know. It asks what happens to all that love that doesn't stopsimply because the loved one is gone. Does it rush away like water? Flood the land? Does it burn like embers not quite extinguished?On a more universal level, we might think of all the potential wasted in needless death, an interpretation that expresses Rich's precept thatthe personal is always political. Reflecting on all of the levels of Rich's meaning can give us the means to survive our own wrecks and be willingto dive with her. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and she loved it. The poems are so clear *by Z***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2016* I bought this book for my mom, and she loved it. The poems are so clear, strong, and moving. It also came promptly, which was important as it was a Christmas present.
