Cher on Adrienne Rich
← Back to Cher Profile
“As a poet, Adrienne Rich had a great impact on me. I studied her work a great deal.”
“I think of Adrienne Rich's words from a generation ago: adapting John Donne, she wrote, "Any woman's death diminishes me.” Twenty years later, I would amend Rich's statement and assert with equal lesbian feminist passion, "Every barrio boy's death diminishes me."”
