Rich's poetry is both eloquent and provocative, characterized by precision of language and a clear political conscience. I would suggest that a new reader start with her 21 Love Poems (found in The Dream of a Common Language). This reinvention of the sonnet sequence is among her most accessible and emotionally engaging work. Her essays are also excellent; I recommend What Is Found There as a starting point.
