"..."I know you are reading this poem as you pace beside the stove warming milk, a crying child on your shoulder, a book in your hand because life is short, and you too are thirsty. I know you are reading this poem listening for something, torn between bitterness and hope turning back once again to the task you cannot refuse."...
"This book opened my eyes to the function of poetry. Complex thought and emotion requires a complex form. Thank you, Adrienne Rich for making me realize this. These poems were difficult - but I spent a great deal of time with them and found that they were so rewarding!!! Depth of experience, thought, and emotion can not be plumbed through easy words. Reading this collection made my world bigger - and by world I mean my ability to think and to feel."
"All I can say about this book is that several years ago I read the poem that begins with "...I know you are reading this poem..." and it completely revitalized my desire to read more poetry, which (if anyone has seen my list of books) obviously has been a life's pursuit.
