These essays trace a distinguished writer's engagement with her time, her arguments with herself and others. "I am a poet who knows the social power of poetry, a United States citizen who knows herself irrevocably tangled in her society's hopes, arrogance, and despair," Adrienne Rich writes. The essays in Arts of the Possible search for possibilities beyond a compromised, degraded system, seeking to imagine something else. They call on the fluidity of the imagination, from poetic vision to social justice, from the badlands of political demoralization to an art that might wound, that may open scars when engaged in its work, but will finally suture and not tear apart. This volume collects Rich's essays from the last decade of the twentieth century, including four earlier essays, as well as several conversations that go further than the usual interview. Also included is her essay explaining her reasons for declining the National Medal for the Arts.
Review:
"[W]hile the essays, 'notes' and 'conversations' may be read individually, what's perhaps most fascinating--and rewarding--about this collection is charting Rich's intellectual journey itself."
Publishers Weekly, 03/26/2001
Review:"For four decades, Rich's voice, always challenging, has been testing silence by asking questions. (As long ago as 1984, she declared, 'I am the woman who asks . . .' ) In ARTS OFTHE POSSIBLE she continues to challenge, observing, 'We have to keep on asking the questions still being defined as nonquestions -- the ones beginning Why . . .? What if . . .?'
Molly McQuade, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 05/27/2001
