In her foreword, Adrienne Rich, like many American poets, acknowledges her debt to America's first poet, whose work is amply represented in this volume. In the 1640s, Bradstreet's brother-in-law sneaked her first manuscript to a British printer. Entitled THE TENTH MUSE LATELY SPRUNG UP IN AMERICA, Bradstreet's book, which she never intended for publication, was a huge success. Bradstreet continued writing until her death in 1672, and the posthumously published collection SEVERAL POEMS COMPILED WITH GREAT VARIETY OF WIT AND LEARNING, which reveals both a more private and accomplished voice, was printed in 1978. Here, work from both manuscripts, along with autobiographical prose written for Bradstreet's children, is represented.
