A Change of World

This reissue of Adrienne Rich’s first poetry collection reaffirms the author’s place as one of our most important American poets.A Change of World was selected by W. H. Auden for the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award. Out of print for decades, this initial collection launched the career of a poet whose work has been crucial to discussions of gender, race, and class, pushing formal boundaries and consistently examining both self and society.
