‘Poetry can break open locked chambers of possibility, restore numbed zones of feeling, recharge desire.’
(from What Is Found There: Notebooks of Poetry and Politics)
Adrienne Rich: Feminist scholar and author of more than 19 volumes of poetry including Diving into the Wreck (1973); The Fact of the Doorframe: Selected Poems 1950-2001 (1984). She also written several collections of essays, among them, On Lies, Secrets and Silence (1979), Blood, Bread and Poetry (1986), and What Is Found There: Notebooks on Poetry and Politics (1993) Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution (1976), and edited many influential lesbian-feminist journals. Her poetry has been honoured with the National Book Award in 1974 for Diving into the Wreck (which she accepted jointly with Alice Walker and Audre Lorde in the name of all women who are silenced), two Guggenheim Fellowships, the first Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the Brandeis Creative Arts Medal, the Common Wealth Award, the William Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement, and the National Poetry Association Award for Distinguished Service to the Art of Poetry. She is one of the few living poets included on the Irish Leaving Certificate Syllabus.
