after making love, speaking
of loneliness
relieved in a book

so on that page
the clot and fissure
of it appears
words of a man
in pain
a naked word

a hand grasping
through bars:

deliverance

Who were the men in the Bronco?"

"Are they following you?"
"Apparently."
"But you made it sound like they couldn't arrest you."

You've kissed my hair
to wake me. I dreamed you were a poem,
I say, a poem I wanted to show someone…
and I laugh and fall dreaming again
of the desire to show you to everyone I love,
to move openly together
in the pull of gravity ~ Adrienne Rich

The belief that established science and scholarship
which have so relentlessly excluded women from their making
are "objective"and "value-free" and that feminist studies are "unscholarly," "biased," and "ideological" dies hard. Yet the fact is that all science, and all scholarship, and all art are ideological; there is no neutrality in culture! ~ Adrienne Rich

With this pregnancy, unlike my others, I was fully aware of the possibility of blissful, painless, potentially even orgasmic, and fully natural, unmedicalized childbirth from the beginning. After reaching my second trimester, I was relaxing in the bath after my children had gone to sleep, when suddenly I felt a profound connection with the little girl within me. She communicated to me how this birth was going to go. How it was going to feel. In essence, I knew she would pass easily out of my body. ~ Adrienne Carmack

Can you remember? When we thought
the poets taught how to live? ~ Adrienne Rich

My father's rasping whistle caught my ears from down the line and I searched the dirt-smeared faces until I found a pair of bright blue eyes fixed on me.

To try not to die. ~ Adrienne Young

Peter heard the lock tumble. She must have turned it with her free hand, because the door opened and the inside light she'd left on washed over them.
