Dark Fields of the Republic
Poems 1991-1995

This work provides a collection of poems by Adrienne Rich. Her explorations examine the themes of democracy and love, and the historical and present endangerment of both.

A theater of voices of men and women, the dead and the living, over time and across continents, the poems of Dark Fields of the Republic take conversations, imaginary and real, actions taken for better or worse, out of histories and songs to extend the poet's reach of witness and power of connection--and then invites the reader to participate.
