It moves well beyond the scope of its predecessor, Adrienne Rich's Poetry (1975), in giving proper recognition to Rich's extraordinary, achieve-ments in both poetry and prose. The result is a judiciously edited, sensibly an-notated volume ideally suited for classroom study of one of our most distinguished working writers.
