	Adrienne Rich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adrienne Rich (born May 16, 1929 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American feminist, poet, teacher, and writer.
		Rich was born May 16, 1929 in Baltimore, Maryland, the elder of two daughters of Arnold Rich, a doctor and pathology professor at Johns Hopkins University, and Helen Jones Rich, a gifted pianist and composer who had given up a possible professional musical career to raise a family.
		Rich's third book Snapshots of a Daughter-in-Law (1963), which was eight years in the writing, stands as a watershed in her poetic development.

	Rich's Life and Career--by Deborah Pope
		Rich was born 16 May 1929 in Baltimore, Maryland, the elder of two daughters of Arnold Rich, a doctor and pathology professor at Johns Hopkins University, and Helen Jones Rich, a gifted pianist and composer who had given up a possible professional musical career to raise a family.
		Rich's earlier, inchoate feelings of personal conflict, sexual alienation, and cultural oppression were finding increasing articulation in the larger social/political currents gathering force throughout the sixties, from the civil rights movements to the antiwar movement, to the emergent women's movement.
		Rich's voice is most characteristically the voice of witness, oracle, or mythologizer, the seer with the burden of "verbal privilege" and the weight of moral imagination, who speaks for the speechless, records for the forgotten, invents anew at the site of erasure of women's lives.

	Seattle Arts & Lectures - Adrienne Rich
		Rich was twenty-one, and her work was invested in the formalism that characterized the canonical tradition of Eliot, Yeats, Frost and Auden.
		Rich shifted to a free verse line, and launched on what would become a career of poetry that demanded consciousness and self-interrogation of writer and reader, and an implacable critique of social injustice.
		Rich entered her most influential period: as a feminist and a lesbian she spoke out for equality for women, gays, and those disenfranchised by race and class.

	Survival Requires Revision: Looking Back on Adrienne Rich, by Sarah Brown
		As Rich re-visions "Aunt Jennifer's Tigers," she describes it being important to her that "Aunt Jennifer was a person as distinct from [herself] as possible- distanced by the formalism of the poem, by its objective, observant tone- even putting the woman in a different generation" (608).
		Rich began to notice that her fragments and scraps of writing all had a is common consciousness and a common theme, one which she would have been very unwilling to put on paper at an earlier time because she had been taught that poetry should be 'universal,'which meant, of course, nonfemale" (61 1).
		Rich describes the poem as " a reconnection as a part of herself she felt she was losing- the active principle, the energetic imagination, the "half brother" whom she had projected for many years, into the constellation Orion" (7).

	American Passages - Unit 15. Poetry of Liberation: Authors
		Born in Baltimore, Adrienne Rich describes her mother and grandmother as "frustrated artists," whose talents were denied expression by culture and circumstance.
		By the end of the 1950s and early 1960s, however, Rich's poetry had changed markedly as she began exploring women's issues and moving away from formal poetry toward a free verse that she saw as less patriarchal and more in tune with her true voice.
		In the 1980s, Rich wrote a number of dialogue poems, the best-known of which is her "Twenty-One Love Poems." This series modernizes the Elizabethan sonnet sequences written by men to idealized women by directing the poems to an unnamed female lover.

	Adrienne Rich
		Rich is one of our most distinguished poets – this is, by my count, her 16th book of poems – and one of the things that distinguishes her art is a restless need to confront difficulty, a refusal to be easily appeased.
		For Rich herself, it was simply the fulfilment of a desire that had lain dormant through the decades of her frustrating marriage: "The suppressed lesbian I had been carrying in me since adolescence began to stretch her limbs," she wrote.
		Adrienne Rich is one of a few living American poets widely read and celebrated outside the United States - and for good reason; she is one of the few living American poets whose work, book after book, has spoken of political realities beyond the US with the same urgency as those within it.

		Rich – a tiny, delicate-appearing woman with a strong, sparkling gaze – seemed to appreciate the audience’s reverence and her own power, yet without a trace of arrogance.
		Rich worries that in the US poetry – not unlike politics – is falsely perceived as having “nothing to do with the hard core of things,” incomprehensible to all but the elite.
		Rich’s career since the 1970s is too complex to be neatly summarized, her thinking too multifaceted to be reduced to a sound bite.

	Adrienne Rich
		For those to whom it matters, Adrienne Rich grew op the daughter of a doctor and was exposed to ‘literate culture and reading’ from an early age.
		Rich strove to write, "directly and overtly as a woman, out of a woman’s body and experiencesociety is split at the rootArt is separated from politics and the poet’s identity as a woman is separated from her art"(NAAL, 2690).
		Rich sought her own ‘language’ which would not only expose those divisions-between man and woman-but would also integrate those divisions into the self and the world.

		The one prize Rich chose to decline was the National Medal for the Arts, awarded in 1997 by the National Endowment for the Arts and President Clinton.
		Rich’s commitment to a ruthless examination of the self, as well as of society, has produced a body of work that traces her transformation from the well-behaved wife and formalist of the early poems to the fierce and politically artful writer she became.
		Rich’s work is living, necessary proof of the need for and the possibility of union between art and politics.

		Adrienne Rich: Well, it's interesting that you ask me that, because I just got back from Chile, from an International Poetry Festival, and I realized after I'd been there a day and a half that I was witnessing a huge expression of public happiness.
		Rich: In a true sense, even the little that was coming over the media, it inspired people all over the country.
		Rich: Well, until recently, until the stock market fell, these were supposed to be the best times in history, this was supposed to be the happiest country in the world; everybody was supposedly doing well, and I mean it was all a lie, of course.

		Adrienne Rich is one of the major American poets of the last half of this century.
		In a letter published by the New York Times, Rich wrote to Jane Alexander, then-head of the National Endowment for the Arts: "I cannot accept such an award from President Clinton or this White House because the very meaning of art, as I understand it, is incompatible with the cynical politics of this administration."
		Rich's career took flight in 1951, when W.H. Auden selected the 21-year-old's first collection of poetry for inclusion in the Yale Younger Poets series.

		In the mid-1980s, Rich's fusing of the personal and political is poignantly voiced in "In Memoriam: D.K." (1986), her tribute to one of her ablest critics and supporters, David Kalstone:
		Committed to plumbing her various heritages, Rich's poetry contains depths and breadths of psychological and social meanings that resonate to and from identities, subjectivities, rationalities, and emotions.
		Adrienne Rich lends new meaning to Ralph Waldo Emerson's nineteenth-century proclamation that the poet is no mere versifier but a seer and sayer, for this American lesbian feminist poet utters truths denied or previously unrealized so plainly, memorably, and forcibly that they demand to be reckoned with.

	Rutgers Writing Program - 100 - Adrienne Rich
		For your second essay, I would like you to establish a connection between Rich's ideas about honor and lying, and Gilmore's ideas about honor and "being good at being a man." I would also like you to explore the ways in which honor is created in opposing circumstances and in opposing cultures.
		Consider, especially, the following passage from Rich's essay: "I want to reiterate that when we talk about women and honor, or women and lying, we speak within the context of male lying, the lies of the powerful, the lie as a false source of power" (421).
		Circle the terms and ideas that you think are most important to Rich and most essential to her argument.

		Adrienne Rich, ringing voice of a restive female generation, author of 15 volumes of poems, recipient of Guggenheims and National Book Awards, flatly refused a National Medal for the Arts from the White House.
		Rich looks hard at torture, oppression and war, visiting battlefields and cells like a ghost returning to the scene of death.
		Coming as it does after an exhaustive chronicle of disappointments and complications, the final verse seems to say that the best that can be hoped for is the continuation of life from day to day, and the grace of poetry to keep appearing.
