More From Adrienne Rich
- "Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe."
- "The mother’s battle for her child with sickness, with poverty, with war, with all the forces of exploitation and callousness that cheapen human life needs to become a common human battle, waged in love and in the passion for survival."
- "Lesbian existence comprises both the breaking of a taboo and the rejection of a compulsory way of life. It is also a direct or indirect attack on the male right of access to women."
