Adrienne Rich's Poetry and Prose (Norton Critical Editions)

I had to read this for an English Lit class, and it was great. I enjoyed it so much that semester that I didn't even sell it back! But I haven't read it since, so maybe it isn't that great unless you are forced to read it. As required reading, it really is one of the best and most interesting book of poems you'll likely read. For leisure.. maybe not.Oh! By the way, the lesbian undertones were a great and interesting surprise! And also made writing about feminist theory REALLY EASY.

There are some good poems in here!

This book arrived in fairly good condition. A couple of pages were dogeared, but otherwise it was fine. As far as the text goes, it is very good, though quite obscure, poetry. You need a teacher to help you read it, and fortunately I have one. The footnotes were uneven.

Who would we be without the essential words of Adrienne Rich? I would carry a copy of the words of Adrienne Rich with me everywhere, always.

I bought this used to replace one I had before.It was so marked up, it was unreadable. It should be er have been offered for resaleI sent it back

I'm currently teaching a six week course in Adrienne Rich's poetry and this book is excellent. It provides a good selection of her poems, plus significant prose pieces. If students choose to do so, they can read the reviews of her books, some critical essays and an interview. It's limited only in that it doesn't cover her more recent publications.

My copy is missing pages 225 to 276, comprising the last four essays in the Prose section: "Blood, Bread and Poetry: The Location of the Poet," "The Genesis of 'Yom Kippur 1984'," "Adrienne Rich: The Interview with David Montenegro," and "Swarthmore College Commencement: June 1, 1992." Must have been a bad printing batch. Caveat emptor.

She must be one of the favorite poets of English Lit. teachers, and one of the worst. Norton can do so much better with other poets and other authors. There are plenty of titles I would like to buy that Norton simply has ignored, and here we are with yet another edition of adrienne rich's poor talents and even poorer verse. What a waste.

Good condition. Thanks!

I needed the second edition of this collection. I ordered this item under the reasonable impression that that's what I would receive. Instead, I got the first edition, which stops at 1991, leaving out the last fifteen years of Rich's work. Very disappointed with the mis-labeling on this product!
