4.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Jewels (and maybe hidden depths), January 23, 2008

This review is from: Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth: Poems 2004-2006 (Hardcover)
The poems here are more elliptical than Rich's early work with which I'm most familiar. Some are so dense as to be impenetrable, while others read like scattered fragments swept together into a jumble. In most, though, there's a phrase or two that shines out like a jewel. I suspect that their more hidden charms will become apparent on re-reading...

This review is from: Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth: Poems 2004-2006 (Hardcover)
Adrienne Rich---now in her late seventies---gives us another terrific book of poems dated 2004-2006. She returns to writing some formal verses, but free verse now seems her most natural form. She even tries some translations. This book is most interesting when she takes us effortlessly, it seems,from the personal to the political.
