Adrienne Rich was born in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. in 1929. She is the author of nearly twenty volumes of poetry, and has been called a feminist and a radical poet.
The word POETRY originates from a Greek word meaning TO MAKE. A poet is thus a maker and the poem something that is made or created. No single definition of poetry is possible but some characteristic features of poetry may be mentioned. Poetry has a musical quality with rhythm, pitch, metre and it may use figures of speech such as simile and metaphor. While quite a few poems in this selection are in traditional forms, the unit also includes modern poems that are free
The use of simile is clear as the branches of the trees are seen like newly discharged patients heading for the clinic doors. This portrayal of the trees as people in need of medical help means the poem cannot be taken literally.
Extended metaphor - the trees are indeed people, specifically females, females who are in need of healing or having been healed, are now ready for their true purpose, renewing the empty forest.
