Later Poems: Selected and New: 1971-2012

The final volume of poems assembled by Americaâ€™s most powerful and distinctive poetic voice.

In Later Poems: Selected and New 1971â€“2012, the strong trajectory of the work of one of the most important artists of American letters is on display. This volume brings together a remarkable body of work. Included are Adrienne Richâ€™s own selections from twelve volumes of published works, including the National Book Awardâ€“winning Diving Into the Wreck, An Atlas of the Difficult World, and her most recent volume, Tonight No Poetry Will Serve, along with ten powerful new poems, previously uncollected. Among these, â€œFrom Strataâ€ is a kind of archaeology of the present day; â€œItineraryâ€ searches for an â€œindefinite futureâ€ in a menaced landscape; â€œFor the Young Anarchistsâ€ offers a trope of skilled labor for political action; and the haunting voice of â€œTeethsucking Birdâ€ reminds us of what we have been told to forget. This collection testifies to a monumental career that distinguished American literature in the late twentieth century and will continue to inspire readers for years to come.
