    http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/6865/arich.html
    SONG
    You're wondering if I'm lonely:
    OK then, yes, I'm lonely
    as a plane rides lonely and level
    on its radio beam, aiming
    across the Rockies
    for the blue-strung aisles
    of an airfield on the ocean.
    You want to ask, am I lonely?
    Well, of course, lonely
    as a woman driving across country day after day, leaving behind mile after mile little towns she might have stopped and lived and died in, lonely If I'm lonely it must be the loneliness of waking first, of breathing dawns' first cold breath on the city of being the one awake in a house wrapped in sleep If I'm lonely it's with the rowboat ice-fast on the shore in the last red light of the year that knows what it is, that knows it's neither ice nor mud nor winter light but wood, with a gift for burning Adrienne Rich DIVING INTO THE WRECK First having read the book of myths, and loaded the camera, and checked the edge of the knife-blade, I put on the body-armor of black rubber the absurd flippers the grave and awkward mask. I am having to do this not like Cousteau with his assiduous team aboard the sun-flooded schooner but here alone.

    Adrienne Rich
    Aunt Jennifer's Tigers
    from A Change of World, 1951
    Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance across a screen,
    Bright topaz denizens of a world of green.
    They do not fear the men beneath the tree;
    They pace in sleek chivalric certainty. Aunt Jennifer's fingers fluttering through her wool
    Find even the ivory needle hard to pull.
    The massive weight of Uncle's wedding band
    Sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer's hand. When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie
    Still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.
    The tigers in the panel that she made
    Will go on prancing, proud and unafraid.
    Living in Sin
    She had thought the studio would keep itself; no dust upon the furniture of love. Half heresy, to wish the taps less vocal, the panes relieved of grime. A plate of pears, a piano with a Persian shawl, a cat stalking the picturesque amusing mouse had risen at his urging. Not that at five each separate stair would writhe under the milkman's tramp; that morning light so coldly would delineate the scraps of last night's cheese and three sepulchral bottles;

    Rich, Adrienne (b. 1929)
    page: Adrienne Rich, who has aestheticized politics and politicized aesthetics, is America's most widely read lesbian poet. Rich's unflinching moral vision, constant and courageous interrogations of her selves, and of her own and other writers' philosophical positions and artistic responsibilities, make her, as poet and critic Alicia Ostriker has observed, "a poet of ideas" who "cannot accept either a public or private life not motivated by the will to change oneself, to change others, to change the world," and who "asks us," therefore, "to think that we need to give birth to ourselves." Sponsor Message.
    In a national poetry industry where creative writing programs pledge allegiance to honing technique and to the commonplace that form is content, Rich, a master of craft and form, unfashionably refuses to identify poetry with skillful design and insists that it must be forceful enough to change lives. Indeed, David Kalstone pronounced Rich's The Will to Change (1971) "an extraordinary book of poems and something else as well."

    Rich, Adrienne (b. 1929)
    page: In the mid-1980s, Rich's fusing of the personal and political is poignantly voiced in "In Memoriam: D.K." (1986), her tribute to one of her ablest critics and supporters, David Kalstone: A man walking on the street
    feels unwell has felt unwell all week, a little. . . Give me your living hand death moved into you undeclared, unnamed even if sweet, if I could take that hour. Rich mourns this sensitive, invaluable poetic interpreter and teacher who died of AIDS. Sponsor Message. Committed to plumbing her various heritages, Rich's poetry contains depths and breadths of psychological and social meanings that resonate to and from identities, subjectivities, rationalities, and emotions. Rich has, as Olga Broumas notes, "extraordinary powersof perception, eloquence, rhythm, courage, the rare fusion of vision and action, the ability to suggest not only to others but to herself a course of action in the mind and follow it in the next breath in the world," and thus many are "drawn by the mind of [this] woman whose work and life have been an act of becoming conscious against the established order." As Gloria Bowles observed more than a decade ago, Adrienne Rich has time and again exhorted feminist scholars to remain "dedicated to the process of discussion and reformulation," always remaining open to the previously unimaginable possibilities of reconceptualization.

    The Progressive January 1994 Issue Adrienne Rich
    BY MATTHEW ROTHSCHILD
    It is this mission that sets Rich apart, for she has forsaken the easy path of academic poetry and hurled herself into the political fray. An early feminist and an outspoken lesbian, she has served as a role model for a whole generation of political poets and activists. Consciously she has fused politics and poetry, and in so doing, shealong with Audre Lorde, June Jordan, and a small handful of colleaguesrediscovered and rejuvenated the lost American tradition of political poetry.
    I spoke with her one cool sunny September afternoon on the patio of her modest home on the outskirts of Santa Cruz, California, which she shares with her partner, the novelist Michelle Cliff. When it became too cold, we went inside and finished the interview in her living room. Works by June Jordan and Audre Lorde rested on a nearby coffee table.

    A rich life
    Adrienne Rich on poetry, politics, and personal revelation
    by Michael Klein
    Adrienne Rich is one of the major American poets of the last half of this century. Now 70, she's published more than 16 volumes of poetry and four books of nonfiction, and has been the recipient of nearly every major literary award, including the National Book Award, the Fellowship of the Academy of American Poets, the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the Dorothea Tanning Prize for mastery in the art of poetry given by the Academy of American Poets, and the MacArthur "genius" grant. In 1997, she made headlines when she refused the National Medal for the Arts which is awarded by the White House and the president. In a letter published by the New York Times , Rich wrote to Jane Alexander, then-head of the National Endowment for the Arts: "I cannot accept such an award from President Clinton or this White House because the very meaning of art, as I understand it, is incompatible with the cynical politics of this administration." Rich's career took flight in 1951, when W.H. Auden selected the 21-year-old's first collection of poetry for inclusion in the Yale Younger Poets series. Her early work echoed the voices of the major poets of the first half of this century, including Auden, but by the 1960s (particularly with the publication of

    Adrienne Rich
    P oeta y ensayista estadounidense, más conocida por su investigación sobre las experiencias sociales de la mujer. En 1974 ganó el National Book Award (Premio Nacional del Libro) por Diving into the Wreck , un libro de poemas que explora temas como el lenguaje, los mitos y la historia de las mujeres. Rich nació en Baltimore (Maryland). En 1951 se graduó en la Universidad de Radcliffe y recibió el Yale Younger Poets Award (Premio Yale de poesía joven) por su primer libro de poemas, Un cambio de mundo . Otros libros son Instantáneas de una nuera Nacida de mujer El sueño de un lenguaje común Tu país nativo, tu vida (1986) y Atlas de un mundo difíci l (1992). A lo largo de su carrera, Rich ha sido una feminista activa, una luchadora por los derechos civiles y por la paz, inquietudes que se reflejan en su poesía. Ha impulsado a la gente a cuestionarse sus creencias, y en muchos de sus poemas se analiza a sí misma, reflexionando sobre temas como su herencia hebrea, la homosexualidad y las políticas de opresión. © eMe Textos:

The debate over the proper relations between the state and the artist, between the realms of the public and the private, continues unabated. Book Review invited Rich to explain why she refused the presidential honor. The invitation from the White House came by telephone on July 3, just before the national holiday, a time of public contention about the relationship of government to the arts. After several years' erosion of arts funding and hostile propaganda from the religious right and the Republican Congress, the House vote to end the National Endowment for the Arts was looming. That vote would break as news on July 10; my refusal of the National Medal for the Arts would run as a sidebar story in the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle.

    Rich, Adrienne
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929), poet and theorist, represents an important voice in contemporary feminist criticism; her work has grown and developed with the women's movement, in which she has played an active role since 1970. Two collections, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence (1979) and Blood, Bread, and Poetry (1986), contain many of her significant essays; in addition to these and her many volumes of poetry, she published a pioneering feminist text, Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution (1976). Her publishing career well epitomizes a dualism in the way feminist thought has been communicatedboth inside and outside the university, both inside and outside of major publishing houses. Her poems and essays often appeared first in small, experimental journals (and Rich is on the board of one such, Sinister Wisdom ), but they have been collected and reissued by W. W. Norton.
    Poets have played a conspicuous role in contemporary feminism, in part because of the movement's recognition of the crucial significance of language in defining and creating a reality. Realizing that oppressed groups tend to have their world named for them, the women's movement in the 1970s and 1980s placed importance on acts of re-naming and re-vision, to use Rich's phrase in "When We Dead Awaken: Writing as Re-Vision" (1971): "The dynamic between a political vision and the demand for a fresh vision of literature is clear: without a growing feminist movement, the first inroads of feminist scholarship could not have been made" (
