The title poem, in a young schoolteacher's voice, evokes the lessons that children (\"Not of course here\") learn amid violence and hatred, \"when the whole town flinches \/ blood on the undersole thickening to glass.\" \"Usonian Journals 2000\" intercuts faces and conversations, building to a dystopic\/utopic vision. Throughout these fierce and musical poems, Rich traces the imprint of a public crisis on individual experience: personal lives bent by collective realities, language itself held to account.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrienne Cecile Rich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
