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.
