Surveying Rich's poetry and prose from 1951 to the present, this book traces the development of Adrienne Rich's new understanding of the power of the poet and the power of woman. Sharing Rich's feminist sensibilities, yet at times critical of her more radical positions, Claire Keyes draws a portrait of an artist who was shaped by the complex political and social climate of post-World War Two America. It is a portrait that reveals the creative growth of an artist and the personal growth of a powerful and controversial woman.
