Diving Into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972 by Adrienne Rich

5.0

in a world almost archaic
so precious by this time
that merely to step in pure water
or stare into clean air
is to feel a spasm of pain.

a post-apocalyptic tremor running through this collection, and through me reading it. sublime. soul-sinking, anger-inciting. healing. i love adrienne rich.
