A reissue of the classic Adrienne Rich selection, revised and expanded to cover the entirety of her career, with a new Introduction.

The Fact of a Doorframe is the ideal introduction to Rich's opus, from her formative lyricism in A Change of Word (1951), to the groundbreaking poems of Diving into the Wreck (1973), to the searching voice of Fox (2001).

Quotes

  • Alexandra Lisogorhas quoted4 years ago
    making you
    my cave.
  • Alexandra Lisogorhas quoted4 years ago
    whole biographies swam up and
    swallowed me like Jonah.
  • Alexandra Lisogorhas quoted4 years ago
    What is it I so miscarry?
    If what I spew on the tiles at last,
    helpless, disgraced, alone,
    is in part what I’ve swallowed from glasses, eyes,
    motions of hands, opening and closing mouths,
    isn’t it also dead gobbets of myself,
    abortive, murdered, or never willed?
