Sad Day

I know she was 82 and had a good, long, meaningful life, but I'm still very depressed about the death of Adrienne Rich. She was such a formative influence on my understanding of gender and sexuality. I read her poems and her essay on "compulsory heterosexuality" when I was in college, and they transformed the world for me.

Thank you, Adrienne Rich.
