Collected Early Poems: 1950-1970
ByPublisher Description
More than 200 poems collected from Adrienne Rich's first six books, plus a dozen others of those decades.
From their first publication, when Rich was twenty-one, in the prestigious Yale Younger Poets series, the successive volumes of her poetry have both charted the growth of her own mind and vision and mirrored our tempestuous, unsettled age. Her unmistakable voice, speaking even from the earliest poems with rare assurance and precision, wrestles with urgent questions while never failing to explore new poetic territory.In Collected Early Poems, readers will once again bear witness to Rich's triumphant assertion of the centrality of poetry in our intertwined personal and political lives.

“Ufa. Esse foi o livro mais difícil que li em 2017. E um dos melhores. Difícil pela questão de ser de poesia por 1200 páginas, o que requer tempo e paciência para ser lida, mesmo o estilo adotado por Rich ser o clássico livre, liberto de quaisquer formas que pudessem tolir o efeito libertário de sua escrita, só lá nos primeiros poemas ela adota determinada métrica e versificação.
Rich foi conhecida também como feminista, fato este que reflete na sua poesia a partir dos anos 70 e que fica ainda mais forte quando "saiu do armário" na segunda metade dos anos 70, em geral sua poesia a partir tem um viés político muito forte e que acaba arrefecendo em suas obras mais maduras que tendem a se apresentarem de forma mais contemplativa.”
