In memory of the great American poet Adrienne Rich, who passed away late last month, may I suggest this 2011 interview she gave to the Paris Review?

She is often lumped together with Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath (mainly because she was their contemporary, she was a woman, and she is associated with feminist poetics) but perhaps not given the same level of reverence. Sad to say, but maybe now that she’s dead, she will start to receive it.
