Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971–1972 is Rich's seventh book of poetry,[1] first published in 1973.[2][3] It is a collection of exploratory and often angry poems, split the 1974 National Book Award for Poetry with Allen Ginsberg, The Fall of America.[4][5] Rich declined to accept the award individually and was joined by the two other feminist poets nominated—Alice Walker and Audre Lorde—to accept it on behalf of all women "whose voices have gone and still go unheard in a patriarchal world."[6][7]

"Diving into the Wreck"edit
We are, I am, you are by cowardice or courage the one who find our way back to this scene carrying a knife, a camera a book of myths in which our names do not appear.
—From "Diving into the Wreck" Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971–1972 (1973)[8]
The eponymous metaphorical poem describes a deep-sea diver before and during the exploration of a shipwreck.[9][10][11][12]
"Rape"edit
"Rape" is a poem that describes the plight of a woman who has been raped, forced to seek justice from a callous and patronizing male-dominated world. As in many of Rich's poems, "Rape" highlights the struggle of women against sexism and its sometimes cruel consequences, and can be seen as an effort to call women to action. "Rape" was published in 1973 in Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972.[13]
