The Power of Adrienne Rich: A Biography
By Hilary Holladay (Nov. 17)
The first-ever biography of acclaimed poet Adrienne Rich hits shelves this fall, penned by biographer, poet, and scholar Hilary Holladay, whose previous biography subjects include Lucille Clifton and Herbert Huncke.
“E.L. Doctorow said once said that ‘Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.’ You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way.
