Hello,
I am writing to follow-up on a FOIA request for the FBI file on poet and activist Adrienne Rich. Rich's death earlier this year was widely reported.
Here is a link to her New York Times obituary: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/29/books/adrienne-rich-feminist-poet-and-author-dies-at-82.html?pagewanted=all
I look forward to receiving the FBI file on Rich in a timely manner. Please contact me if further clarification is necessary to fulfill the FOIA request.
Thank you,
