Adrienne Rich

Fox

Poems 1998-2000

A major new work by one of our most distinguished and commanding poets.

In this new volume, Adrienne Rich pursues her signature themes and takes them further: the discourse between poetry and history, interlocutions within and across gender, dialogues between poets and visual artists, human damages and dignity, and the persistence of utopian visions. Here Rich continues taking the temperature of mind and body in her time in an intimate and yet commanding voice that resonates long after an initial reading. With two long exploratory poems ("Veteran's Day" and "Terza Rima") as framework, and the title poem as core, Fox is formidable and moving, fierce and passionate, and one of Rich's most powerful works to date.



Adrienne Rich has published more than sixteen volumes of poetry and four nonfiction prose books and is the recipient of numerous awards and prizes. She lives in Santa Cruz, California.
