The Dream of a Common Language: Poems 1974-1977
ByPublisher Description
“Certain lines had become like incantations to me, words I’d chanted to myself through sorrow and confusion” —Cheryl Strayed, Wild
“The Dream of a Common Language explores the contours of a woman’s heart and mind in language for everybody—language whose plainness, laughter, questions and nobility everyone can respond to. . . . No one is writing better or more needed verse than this.”—Boston Evening GlobeDownload the free Fable app

“As an artist, I was moved by the collection of poems delved deep into the complexity of the human experience. Exploring themes of love, power, and identity in a way that is both universal and deeply personal.
The author's ability to create vivid and emotional images inspired me to approach my art with a renewed sense of creativity and purpose. This collection is a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of art forms and how they can tell a story and inspire one another.
Fave Quote: "Not Somewhere Else, But Here."”

“This poetry collection consists primarily of long-form poetry, which made me quite skeptical heading into it but I found I enjoyed most of the entries anyway. This collection really cemented the fact that Rich does a great job of rooting her work in her feelings of longing and anger toward the societal expectations that, unfortunately, continue to ring true today. While there were a few entries I found to be a bit long or utilizing over-exhausted ideas, I think the collection as a whole was strong in its intentions and themes which ultimately won me over.”
