Adrienne Rich first appeared at the Poetry Center in 1958 and returned often over years. Regarding her craft, Rich has said, "Poetry is one of our great human resources, and often a strangely wasted resource. At a time when extremely sophisticated tactics are employed to disinform and demoralize us as a people, I believe that poetry speaks not from a separate sphere but in a different voice."
