The poetry of Muriel Rukeyser (1913-80) confronts the turbulent
currents of modern history as it explores with depth and honesty
the realms of politics, sexuality, mythic imagination,
technological change and family life. Rukeyser was a social
activist of unwavering commitment, a tireless experimenter who
opened fresh forms and fresh subject-matter in modern American
poetry, and a writer who was constantly testing her own limits in a
life's work of extraordinary scope. She held a visionary belief in
the human capacity to create social change through language, and
earned an international reputation as a powerful voice against
enforced silences of all kind, against the violence of war, poverty
and racism. Edited and introduced by Adrienne Rich, this new
selection provides an indispensable introduction to the adventurous
and prolific work of one of the most significant and influential
American poets of the 20th century.
