Rich, Adrienne 1929–

An American poet, critic, essayist, and translator, Rich was a National Book Award winner with Diving into the Wreck. Her development of a relaxed form of free verse combined with formal diction has been seen by many critics as revolutionary and distinctive in American poetry. Her later work reflects her interest in the feminist movement. (See also CLC, Vols. 3, 6, 7, 11, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 9-12, rev. ed.)
