What is Found There: Notebooks on Poetry and Politics by Adrienne Rich

5.0

An examination of the political in poetry, ranging from the direct and intentional to the subtle and subconscious. Still new to the world of poetry, I found this book (literally “found” while killing time at the library in the poetry section) to be a great introduction to several poets (including Rich), their work in the context of politics, and the role of poetry as an often underrated and sometime overtly dismissed political medium. I look forward to revisiting this book down the road.
