Adrienne Rich

"...but you can learn/from the edges that blur/O you who love clear edges/more than anything/ watch the edges that blur..."
-from Contradictions: Tracking Poems

"...we want to live like tress,/ sycamores blazing through the sulfuric air,/ dappled with scars, still exuberantly budding..."
-from Disloyal to Civilization: the Twenty-One Love Poems of Adrienne Rich

"...I choose to be a figure in that light,/ half-blotted by darkness..."
-from 21 Love Poems
