Full description for The School Among the Ruins

• Adrienne Rich described as 'the elder stateswoman of American poetry' (Jeanette Winterson, The Daily Telegraph) here offers a new collection of passionately fierce yet musical poems. The title poem, in a young schoolteacher's voice, evokes the lessons that children ('Not of course here') learn amid violence and hatred, 'when the whole town flinches/ blood on the undersole thickening to glass.' 'Usonian Journals 2000' intercuts faces and conversations, building to a dystopic/ utopic vision. Rich traces the imprint of a public crisis on individual experience: personal lives bent by collective realities, language itself held to account.
