Bücher von Adrienne Rich

"Trust Rich, a clarion poet of conscience, to get the fractured timbre of the times just right."--Booklist, starred review

Time's Power is a new book by a major American poet, and a landmark in a distinguished ongoing career.

"Rich's lyrics are powerful and mournful, drenched in memory." -San Francisco Chronicle

"When does a life bend towards freed? grasp its direction" asks Adrienne Rich in Dark Fields of the Republic, her major new work. Her explorations go to the heart of democracy and love, and the historical and present endangerment of both.

America's enduring poet of conscience reflects on the proven and potential role of poetry in contemporary politics and life.

Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.

That Adrienne Rich is a not only a major American poet but an incisive, compelling prose writer is made clear once again by this collection, in which she continues to explore the social and political context of her life and art.

Leaflets is Adrienne Rich's fifth book of poems. It contains twenty-eight new poems, five adaptations of Dutch, Yiddish, and Russian poets, and a sequence of seventeen poems loosely based on the ghazal, a common form in Middle Eastern poetic tradition; these ghazals comprise a kind of notebook of a month in the summer of 1968.

More than 200 poems collected from Adrienne Rich's first six books, plus a dozen others of those decades.

"Adrienne Rich's new prose collection could have been titled The Essential Rich."-Women's Review of Books

"We are in the presence here of a major American poet whose voice at mid-century in her own life is increasingly marked by moral passion."-New York Times Book Review

"An impressive new volume. . . . Rich's admirers will recognize the complex symbiosis between the activist and the maker of new language, each propelling, describing, provoking the other's words."-Publishers Weekly
