The Once and Future Muse presents the first major study of the life
and work of Dominican-born bilingual American poet and translator
Rhina P. Espaillat (b. 1932). Beginning with her literary celebrity
as the youngest poet ever inducted into the Poetry Society of
America, it traces her relative obscurity after 1952 when she
married and took on family and employment responsibilities, to her
triumphant return to the poetry spotlight decades later when she
reclaimed her former prestige with a series of award-winning poetry
collections. The authors define Espaillat's place in American
letters with attention to her formalist aesthetics, Hispanic
Caribbean immigrant background, poetic community building,
bilingual ethos, and domestically minded woman-of-color feminism.
Addressing the temporality of her oeuvre-her publishing before and
after the splitting of American literature into distinct ethnic
segments-this work also highlights the demands that the social
transformations of the 1960s placed on literary artists, critics,
and readers alike.
