In these risky new poems, Rich dares to look and to extend her poetic language as witness to the treasures--the midnight salvage--rescued from fear and violence. Andrienne Rich's work has long challenged social plausibilities built on violence & demoralizing power. The poems in Midnight Salvage are risky, infused with the cruelty of history, the presence of the body, the beauty of the natural world, with human love & longing
