Fox
Poems 1998-2000
"A challenging collection that should more than satisfy [Rich's] large and loyal following."—Washington Post Book World
In this 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. Fox is formidable and moving, fierce and passionate, and one of Rich's most powerful works to date.
"Justly celebrated....Rich has long wanted to set her readers' minds blazing...she succeeds."—Publishers Weekly starred review
"Intimate, explorative, these are poems with a millennial feel, at once retrospective and forward-looking."—Washington Post Book World
Adrienne Rich has published over sixteen books of poetry and is the recipient of a Lannan Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award, among many other honors. She lives in California.
