Adrienne Rich Quotes:

Ocupation: Poet

Life: May 16, 1929 - March 27, 2012

Birthday: May 16

Death: March 27

White hate crimes, white hate speech. I still try to claim I wasn't brought up to hate. But hate isn't the half of it. I grew up in the vast encircling presumption of whiteness - that primary quality of being which knows itself, its passions, only against an otherness that has to be dehumanized. I grew up in white silence that was utterly obsessional. Race was the theme whatever the topic.
