New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Presentation copy, inscribed by Adrienne Rich to publisher David Kent on the title page. This volume charts Rich's development as a poet, beginning with the precocious formal poems of her first books (A Change of World, The Diamond Cutters), originally published in the 1950s, and ending with the increasingly politically informed poems of the late 1960s (The Will To Change). Octavo. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
