"Adrienne Rich manages to shift the multiple lenses that we view the world through in order to give us a new revelation on how we live--and probably more importantly, how we should start to live. I picked up Diving into the Wreck two months ago and finished it the next day. Rich's poems stick with you and live with you beyond the expiration date of when you first read it. A very recommended book for anyone previously hesitant of approaching/ getting into poetry and serves as a intriguing starter."

In her seventh volume of poetry, Adrienne Rich searches to reclaim—to discover—what has been forgotten, lost, or unexplored.
"I came to explore the wreck. / The words are purposes. / The words are maps. / I came to see the damage that was done / and the treasures that prevail." These provocative poems move with the power of Rich's distinctive voice.
