Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972
In her seventh volume of poetry, Adrienne Rich searches to reclaimۥto discoverۥwhat has been forgotten, lost, or unexplored.
"I came to explore the wreck. / The words are purposes. / The words are maps. / I came to see the damage that was done / and the treasures that prevail." These provocative poems move with the power of Rich's distinctive voice.
