Poet and Activist Adrienne Rich Reads New Poems as Part of Reed
Lecture at Barnard College
New
York, NY— Hundreds of people gathered in Barnard's
McIntosh Center on April 30 to see poet and activist Adrienne
Rich give the prestigious Reed Lecture.

from her half-century canon of poetry on politics, sexuality,
race, power, and language itself.
