Adrienne Rich, and Others, on LP



When I read of the passing last week of acclaimed poet Adrienne Rich, it reminded me that I had recently acquired a vinyl LP, recorded in 1977, where she reads some of her own poetry. She is joined on that recording by Audre Lorde, Honor Moore and Joan Larkin. This disc was released by Larkin’s company Out & Out Books. The title of the project, “A Sign / I Was Not Alone,” was taken from Audre Lorde’s poem, “Between Ourselves.” As this is a rare opportunity for some to actually hear these women speak (Lorde died in 1992), I have set up a page of my website where you can download the complete album.
