ADRIENNE RICH Selected Poems 1950-1995

Adrienne Rich is without question one of the most distinguished contemporary poets. She has had a profound and positive effect on a generation of writers and readers since her poems first appeared in the 1951 collection A Change of World. In the years since then her poetry and prose have been published in over twenty volumes. Adrienne Rich: Selected Poems 1950-1995 contains poems from her first and recent works as well as twelve others, including Snapshots of a Daughter-in-Law (1963), Diving into the Wreck (1973), A Wild Patience Has Taken Me This Far (1981) and An Atlas of the Difficult World (1991). This book is unique in containing a foreword from one of Ireland's most prominent poets, Eavan Boland, and an afterword by Adrienne's long-time friend Jean Valentine. Adrienne Rich has been the recipient of numerous awards including two Guggenheim Fellowships; the Ruth Lilley Poetry Prize (1986), awarded by the Modern Poetry Association and the American Council for the Arts; the National Poetry Association Award for Distinguished Service to the Art of Poetry (1989); the Common Wealth Award in Literature (1991); and the Frost Silver Medal for distinguished lifetime achievement (1992), awarded by the Poetry Society of America. The most recent honour is a MacArthur Fellowship (1994). Adrienne Rich has taught at several major universities in the U.S., most recently Stanford University. She lives in California.
