Abstract
Conflict and Identity in Adrienne Rich’s Poetry
Neerja Nagpal
Volume: 12 Issue: 2 2022
Abstract:
It is easy to imagine that there would be multiple conflicts depicted in the poetry of Adrienne Rich. However, the politico-sexual aspect of lesbianism is being focussed upon here for a nuanced study. Rich was one of the towering literary figures of the 20th century and located herself at the intersections of race, gender, queerness, colour and anti-semitist conflicts. Almost entire corpus of her work came out of these strifes and frictions. Her work is a cauldron of the interface of the personal and the public. She harvests her personal conflicts to create poetry of vision, of activism, of revolutionary and radical feminism and lesbian feminism.
