Dear Aditi,
Thanks for the Adrienne Rich quote. Rich is one of my favourites anyway, and this was a particularly chewy, juicy, succinct morsel!

>In "Voices From The Air" (1993), Rich declared of her medium that:
>
>A poem can't free us from the struggle for existence, but it can uncover
>desires and appetites buried under the accumulating emergencies of our
>lives, the fabricated wants and needs we have had urged on us, have accepted
>as our own. It's not a philosophical or psychological blueprint; it's an
>instrument for embodied experience. But we seek that experience, or
>recognize it when it is offered to us, because it reminds us in some way of
>our need. After that rearousal of desire, the task of acting on that truth,
>or making love, or meeting other needs, is ours.
