This article presents information about the book "What Is Found There: Notebooks on Politics and Poetry," by Adrienne Rich. The book argues that poetry has the power to liberate imagination, creative desire and the will to political change, though not by propaganda and still less by magic and spells. Rich directs a hard, principled scrutiny at her own inheritance of a tradition of cultural and linguistic privilege, exposing the assumptions of privilege underpinning its undeniable power and beauty. Rich addresses the social, ecological and political dilemmas and contradictions of the U.S., defining and identifying herself with a specifically American stream of radical poetry.
