Diving Into The Wreck by Adrienne Rich

Through vivid imagery and powerful language, the poet delves into the depths of the human experience, examining the wreckage of societal expectations and personal history. The titular poem serves as a metaphor for this exploration, with the speaker donning the gear of a deep-sea diver to investigate a sunken ship, symbolizing the search for truth and meaning amidst the ruins of tradition and past roles.
