Adrienne Rich died yesterday at the age of 82. The pioneering feminist and poet has surfaced in many of our radio conversations over the years. Elizabeth Alexander cited Rich’s poem telling us that a poet needs to follow her intuition fully by “diving into the wreck.”

Either you will
go through this door
or you will not go through.
If you go through

much will evade you,
at what cost who knows?
The door itself makes no promises.
It is only a door.
