Fox: Poems 1998-2000
ByPublisher Description
"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 WorldDownload the free Fable app

“Poetry that plays with concepts and images. Sometimes I found it hard to understand the meaning of some verses due to the word arrangement. Definitely requires a reread. Themes of progress, poetry and machines, painting, the human body, utopian visions.
It's the first volume poetry I read where the author leaves triple spaces between words to create a sense of pause.
Eg: "you in long-stiffened gloves still"
I quite like this.
You can feel the author through the poems even when the voice is changed.
"if, lying full length
on the studio floor
the artist were to paint herself
in monochrome
from a mirror in the ceiling
an elongated figure suspended across the room
first horizontal
then straight up and naked
free of beauty
ordinary in fact"
— Grating, II”

“'we're not yet out of the everglades / of the last century / our body parts are still there / though we would have our minds careen and swoop / over the new ocean / with a wild surmise / the bloody strings / tangled and stuck between / become our lyre'”
