Two essential resources for audio recordings of Adrienne Rich reading her poetry are the University of Pennsylvania’s PennSound site and the Woodberry Poetry Room collection at Harvard University. Audio files here are from Rich’s recordings for the University of Cincinnati’s Elliston Project; from the 92nd Street Y in New York City; from PennSound; and from the Voice of the Poet series edited by J.D. McClatchy in 2002 for Random House Audio.
