Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth – Poems 2004– 2006: Poems 2004 To 2006

A new volume from Adrienne Rich recipient of the National Book Foundations 2006 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.. Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth is one of Adrienne Richs most unpredictable and evocative collections. In the folk/blues tradition behind Rhyme in the incantatory pattern of Behind the Motel in the voices from past and present in Letters Censored Shredded Returned to Sender or Judged Unfit to Send in the dystopic scenes and intimate encounters of Draft # 2006 in the mysterious negotiations of the title poem the tempos and moods of this book constantly vary. Here Rich draws on the artistic means of a lifetime.
