The title poem, in a young schoolteacher's voice, evokes the lessons that children ("Not of course here") learn amid violence and hatred, "when the whole town flinches blood on the undersole thickening to glass." "Usonian Journals 2000" intercuts faces and conversations, building to a dystopic utopic vision.

In this new collection Adrienne Rich confronts dislocations and upheavals in the United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The title poem, in a young schoolteacher's voice, evokes the lessons that children ("Not of course here") learn amid violence and hatred, "when the whole town flinches / blood on the undersole thickening to glass." "Usonian Journals 2000" intercuts faces and conversations, building to a dystopic/utopic vision. Throughout these fierce and musical poems, Rich traces the imprint of a public crisis on individual experience: personal lives bent by collective realities, language itself held to account.

Amazing Product
Size: 0.42 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
My absolute favorite lotion. My only regret is it doesn’t come in a larger container! Makes your skin so soft, it absorbs in the skin very nicely and smells amazing. It lasts all day and doesn’t leave skin feeling greasy. Buy it and thank me later

Best lotion I have ever used!
Size: 2.53 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you like a very strong fragrance, you will love this. This smell more like chocolate. I absolutely love the smell. It's a little oily when you first put it on, but after about 10 minutes there is no stickiness. It's really good at keeping your skin soft. If you have ashy spots, like elbows, this will get rid of that within a couple applications. This is also thicker consistency, whereas the "Radiant" version is watery. The Radiant version is easy to find, but this version is harder to find. So, if you like it, I would recommend you by enough to last. I get the feeling this is not going to be available soon.

The very best skin cream on the market. The smell is very nice, not overwhelming at all. It leaves your skin feeling so soft and smelling good.
