An Atlas of the Difficult World by Adrienne Rich

An Atlas of the Difficult World by Adrienne Rich

Throughout this book, a milestone in the poet's work and in the poetry of our time, Rich gathers images of our lives and focuses them blindingly in memory's smoky mirror. As always, she maps out new territory, charting the landscapes of our lives amid the beauties and cruelties of a difficult world.

"In An Atlas of the Difficult World Rich says: 'We write from the marrow of our bones' So she has written since the 1960s, saying what we longed to say, but could not, or dared not. She is a crucial poet: each volume more courageous, newly elegant. In this book she makes me, even in these harsh times, brave, toughened by her boldness, her skill." -- Carolyn G. Heilbrun

Adrienne Rich (1929–2012) was an award-winning poet, influential essayist, radical feminist, and major public intellectual of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
