Adrienne Rich's Poetry and Prose: A Norton Critical Edition / Edition 2

by Adrienne Rich

Overview

“This absolutely exquisite selection of a major poet’s best poetry is a tribute to both her and the editors as well as a deep service to literate humanity.” —ALBERT WACHTEL, Pitzer College

“I do use your edition of Rich each time I teach my women writers course. It’s essential!” —JOELLEN DELUCIA, Central Michigan University

This Norton Critical Edition includes:

• Generous selections of poetry and prose from the entire oeuvre of one of America’s most influential poets.
• An introduction and explanatory annotations by Barbara Charlesworth Gelpi, Albert Gelpi, and Brett Millier.
• Fifteen reviews and critical commentaries, nine of them new to the Second Edition, carefully chosen as a guide to Adrienne Rich’s poetics—and to her poetics as related to politics—ranging from W. H. Auden’s 1951 response to her first book to critics’ reviews of the magisterial Collected Poems in 2016.
• A Chronology, a Selected Bibliography, and an Index.
