Rich<http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/m_r/rich/rich.htm>will
read from her work on Thursday, Oct. 11, at 7:30
p.m. in the Griffith Auditorium at the Georgia Museum of
Art<http://www.uga.edu/gamuseum/index.html>.
The event is sponsored by the University of Georgia's Creative Writing

Humanities and Arts <http://www.cha.uga.edu/>; it is free and open to the
public.

Rich is one of the major American poets of the last half of the 20th
century. Publishing more than 16 volumes of poetry and four books of
nonfiction, she has been the recipient of nearly every major literary award,
including the National Book Award, the Tanning Award for Mastery in the Art
of Poetry, the Academy of American Poets Fellowship, the Ruth Lilly Poetry
Prize, the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize and the MacArthur Fellowship. She
also served as chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

"There is no writer of comparable influence and achievement in so many areas
of the contemporary women's movement as the poet and theorist Adrienne
Rich," according to author Deborah Pope in The Oxford Companion to Women's
Writing in the United States. "Over the years, hers has become one of the
most eloquent, provocative voices on the politics of sexuality, race,
language, power and women's culture."
