Listening to Adrienne Rich


Not really a blog post, just a great link I stumbled across tonight.  It's an interview Adrienne Rich gave to NPR's Fresh Air in 1989, and it's a fantastic 26 minutes of looking listening to the life of such an influential poet.  Definitely give it a listen if you have the time.

"Essentially poetry, if it is poetry, does not lend itself to simple readings, to oversimplifications — though people may try to read it that way. It seems to me that the essential nature of a poem is that there is ambivalence and ambiguity quivering underneath." -Adrienne Rich
