The only thing missing from this slender volume, that I find is often illuminating, is an introduction or afterward from the author.įrom the publisher's website - One of our country's most distinguished poets, Adrienne Rich was born in Baltimore in l929. I figured it was a not to be missed book and so it is.

I bought this particular collection because it was highly recommended in the books by artist/author/poet Tee Corinne in `Courting Pleasure', `The Body of Love' and `Dreams of the Woman Who loved Sex' - she particularly noted `The Floating Poem, Unnumbered' from the selection 'Twenty-One Love Poems'.
