"Trust Rich, a clarion poet of conscience, to get the fractured timbre of the times just right."-- Booklist , starred review In this new collection Adrienne Rich confronts dislocations and upheavals in the United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The title poem, in a young schoolteacher's voice, evokes the lessons that children ("Not of course here") learn amid violence and hatred, "when the whole town flinches / blood on the undersole thickening to glass." "Usonian Journals 2000" intercuts faces and conversations, building to a dystopic/utopic vision. Throughout these fierce and musical poems, Rich traces the imprint of a public crisis on individual experience: personal lives bent by collective realities, language itself held to account.

Every language has a basic vocabulary of similar words and expressions. Adrienne's acclaimed "Gimmick" approach offers both the beginner and the seasoned traveler a fast and effective route to this lexicon by teaching language as it is actually spoken . Adrienne's vocabulary lists are contemporary, practical, and uncensored ― you'll find words here that aren't in any other language book ― and they group together families of words, which makes expanding your vocabulary painless. For the more advanced student, access to the Gimmick 's expansive array of colloquial expressions will add an impossible-to-fake native fluency. Whether you're trying to learn the rudiments ("My name is Steve"), travel with globe-trotting panache ("The Louvre has many paintings by Monet"), or get out of a prickly situation ("May I call my lawyer?"), Adrienne and the Gimmick will show you the way.

In this collection of prose writings, one of America's foremost poets and feminist theorists reflects upon themes that have shaped her life and work.
