Publisher Comments:

A new volume from Adrienne Rich, recipient of the National Book Foundation's 2006 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth is one of Adrienne Rich's most unpredictable and evocative collections. In the folk/blues tradition behind Rhyme, in the incantatory pattern of Behind the Motel, in the voices from past and present in Letters Censored, Shredded, Returned to Sender or Judged Unfit to Send, in the dystopic scenes and intimate encounters of Draft # 2006, in the mysterious negotiations of the title poem, the tempos and moods of this book constantly vary. Here, Rich draws on the artistic means of a lifetime.

Review:

Here are blues refrains, improvisations, and the sound of birdsong. Mixed in with poems about prison life, about torture, about Wallace Stevens, it forms a potent volume.

Synopsis:

The newest volume of poetry from Rich, recipient of the National Book Foundations 2006 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, collects some of her most unpredictable and evocative work to date.

Synopsis:

'Rich"s lyrics are powerful and mournful, drenched in memory.' '"San Francisco Chronicle
