| Adrienne Rich searches to reclaim—to discover —what has been forgotten, lost, or unexplored: “I came to explore the wreck. / The words are purposes. / The words of 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. | |
