Josie Peterson’s Reviews > The Fact of a Doorframe: Poems Selected and New, 1950-1984 > Status Update

Became a favorite collection after .5 seconds of opening it. I am very new to Rich’s work but I consider myself a student of her now.

“My heart is moved by all I cannot save/So much has been destroyed/I have to cast my lot with those, who, age after age,/Perversely, with no extraordinary/Power, reconstitute the world.”
