"Tonight No Poetry Will Serve... pursues the kind of late style that asks us to know what came before - it has new and vivid ways to see the contest that has driven [Rich] all along: on the one hand, the hope for solidarity; on the other, the artist whose words must stand alone." Stephen Burt, London Review of Books "Adrienne Rich - was one of the most influential and political American poets of the last century." The Guardian "This new collection, of pieces written between 2007 and 2010, reveals a supremely confident writer at work." Tribune

“Rich is one of the greatest American poets of the past half century . . . attested to both by the extraordinary power of her poems and by the laurels she’s racked up. . . . The events of our blood-dimmed decade have afforded Rich a subject for some of her strongest material.”—Sara Marcus, San Francisco Chronicle
