On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose 1966-1978
On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose 1966-1978 | Adrienne Rich
5 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
In this collection of prose writings, one of America's foremost poets and feminist theorists reflects upon themes that have shaped her life and work. At issue are the politics of language; the uses of scholarship; and the topics of racism, history, and motherhood among others called forth by Rich as "part of the effort to define a female consciousness which is political, aesthetic, and erotic, and which refuses to be included or contained in the culture of passivity."

“What fascinates and gives hope in a time of slashed budgets, enlarging class size, and national depression is the possibility that many of these young men and women may be gaining the kind of critical perspective on their lives and the skill to bear witness that they have never before had in our country‘s history.”

Love this. Even more apropos of the current administration's almost complete defunding of the arts. But I guess they are being more honest about their disdain and fear of art.
