What is Leaflets: Poems Nineteen Sixty-Five to Sixty-Eight about?

The themes of this book are the poetics of violence and the poetics of love. Its impulse is the deepening of recognitions through language, in a time of ignorance and mutilation. Ms. Rich has written: "For a poet...there is this primary labor with words. But I have the notion that how you live your life has something to do with itthat morality, for a poet, is a refusal of blinders, of traditional consolations, a courage to be alone, or wounded....A willingness to step out into the fog, to take paths which may lead nowhere. Certainty, predictability, are the first supports that have to go. I see the poetry of things as standing in resistance to brute mechanistic force, the charge of the rhinoceros with its head down. To discoverliterallythis poetry and re-create it in language is a poet's essential action."
