Feminist, poet, amazing voice. Adrienne Rich has inspired poets for decades with her amzingly honest and brutal poems. I love reading Rich's poems when I need inspiration. Check out the amazing piece on Rich from the Paris Review here.
From the poem "Night Pices: for a Child"
Tonight I jerk astart in a dark
Hourless as Hiroshima,
Almost hearing you breathe
In a cot three doors away.
... you and I—
swaddled in a dumb dark
old as sickheartedness,
modern as pure annihilation—
we drift in ignorance
