Adrienne Rich (16 May 1929 – 27 March 2012 / Baltimore, Maryland)

I r8 h8 ahdriemhe reech's poems cos they are all laik abouf lesbianisms. And I ain't no lesbianism.... You shlags

Steamy! Erotic and sensual. Very nice!

Adrienne Rich is one of my favorite poets. I admire her for many things, not just her poetry.
I find her poetry of the late 60's and early 70's to be full of power and presence, wonderfully
wrought, and revolutionary in words and grammar manipulations. I was a convert to her work
very early. I loved her flair for the revolution of her soul in words, her wonderful words.
I didn't like this poem; too simple-and besides I think the sort of confessional poetry that calls
for overt self exposure in intimate areas is unnecessary and ultimately vain. Wow, a love-making session. Not interested. Hackneyed.
