In 2014, the University of Maine Honors College added Adrienne Rich's work to its four-semester Civilizations curriculum. Triply marginalized, Rich honed an overtly political, feminist edge in her poetry and essays during the social activism of the 1960s and beyond. This panel will assess the impact of Rich thus far.
