Rage for the world as it is But for what it may be More love now than last year. And always less self-pity Since I know in a clearer light The strength of mystery.

Muriel Rukeyser Born in New York, Rukeyser later pointed to the silence of her home as her inspiration for writing. Her education at Vassar was interrupted by her father's business failures and so she began her career as a journalist writing about Southern racism and the Spanish Civil War. She wrote for various journals and her first book, Theory of Flight (1935), received the Yale Younger Poets Award. Her poetry expressed her growing social consciousness during a time when many artists were retreating from politics and she was criticized by many of her contemporaries. Yet her work continued to wrestle with Jewish existence, the brutality of war, and injustices the world over; she later protested the Vietnam War. As a single mother, she often wrote about her own identity as a woman, as a Jew and as an artist. Source: Jewish Women's Archive

MURIEL RUKEYSER, Andrena Zawinski, Associate Editor “The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” Muriel Rukeyser Muriel Rukeyser was born and died in New York City where she attended Vassar and Columbia. She taught at Vassar and Columbia as well as at the California Labor School and Sarah Lawrence. She was not locked into any particular form, but instead experimented with language from the lyrical to the narrative. Her commitment to humanitarian concerns reflects itself in her poetry considered by many as visionary. May Swenson, in praise of what Rukeyser dared to write, said, “ Her vision is never small, seldom introverted. Her consciousness of others around her, of being but one member...of humanity surging out of the past, filling the present, groping passionately toward the future, is a generating force in her work.” She remains a controversial poet, one who wrote about broad and diverse subjects including aviation, biology, psychology, religion, anthropology, war, the environment and those that issues that continue to tug at fundamental moral fibers of the times like women's rights, the female body, motherhood, lesbianism, anti-Semitism. William Carlos Williams said of her, “ Rukeyser sounds like Carrie Nation with a political hatchet on a Cook’s tour.” Rukeyser saw everyday living as part and parcel to her poetry. Rukeyser was a mentor of Alice Walker, and among the many women who claimed Rukeyser’s influence upon their work was Anne Sexton, who wrote to her saying, “I just want to tell you again, beautiful Muriel, mother of everyone, how I cherish your words...Your poems move like dreams and sink into my unconscious to reappear at night. “

She attended Vassar College and later, Columbia University. Her work was influenced by the violence and inequities she saw around her, such as the Scottsboro trial in Alabama, the Gauley Bridge tragedy in West Virginia and the civil war in Spain. In her poems, she frequently expressed her own experiences within the context of a greater social event. Her wide stylistic range, which includes lyrical forms and the documentary narrative, is illustrated in her Collected Poems (1979). Many women poets have claimed Rukeyser's influence on their work, Anne Sexton among them. She died in New York City in 1980.

Accustomed to both chauffeurs and nursemaids during her childhood, Rukeyser was educated at the Ethical Culture School in New York City, followed by two years at Vassar College. Sponsor Message.

Art of the World: Muriel Rukeyser's Poetry of Witness Anne Herzog English Department, West Chester University In a 1978 documentary film based on the creative lives of three women artists, "They Are Their Own Gifts," Muriel Rukeyser responds to a filmmaker's questioning of her personal definition of "the political": It is important to note that Rukeyser accepts this vocation not only as a human being but, in particular, as a poet. Hank Lazer in "Poetry and Politics: A Naive Approach" traces the mythic connection of witnessing in relation to the Muses in the following: Thus, while allusions to the Muses commonly conjure up connotations of the purely imaginative singing lyric, Lazer's genealogy demonstrates the strikingly unacknowledged, obligatory aspect of poetry. It highlights the poetic responsibility to "bear witness," an aspect Rukeyser fully appreciated from the earliest moments of her career. Here, she is emphatic that the times to be witnesses are of the present, and again, that the responsibility to witness is shared. Here, the speaker parodies the ritualistic and solemn manner in which the Academy stages its openings and closings. The Academy's guests are reduced to types (writers, sculptors, painters, composers) with no individuality, creating a sense of distance and inaccessibility in contrast to the Hectors, Joeys, Lynns, and Rudolfos who chalk their unique signatures on the base of the Academy's walls. Rukeyser's framing of the football/stickball games as "eternal," in contrast to the "one day in May," occasional activity of the Academy, subverts the conventional pairing of the Academy with "eternal" values and longevity, locating timelessness, rather in the streets. Her presentation of the Academy largely as an unpeopled and austere, static building, contrasts sharply, as if in black-and-white, with her richly detailed, water-colored vision of the vitality of the surrounding streets:

Add to a Notebook Muriel Rukeyser Muriel Rukeyser was born in New York City in 1913. She attended Vassar College for two years and then moved back to New York where she took classes at Columbia. After college, she worked as an editor of the Student Review and witnessed certain events which would make a serious impact on her life and poetry, including the Scottsboro trial in Alabama, the Gauley Bridge tragedy in West Virginia and the civil war in Spain. The violence and injustice she saw, in the United States and abroad, led her poetry to function as a mode of social protest. She felt a deep responsibility to comment on human issues and was particularly concerned with inequalities of sex, race and class. With her poems, she frequently documented her own emotional experiences within the context of a greater political or social event. She was a powerful visionary and her work reflects her wish for a greater world community united by love. She attended Roosevelt Aviation School and her first book, Theory of Flight , demonstrates her knowledge of aviation. She experimented with language and form and her wide technical range, which includes lyrical forms and the documentary narrative, is illustrated in her

Biographical Sketch By Michael Thurston Theory of Flight Daily Worker Mediterranean , first published as a pamphlet by (and for) New York Writers and Artists Committee, Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy in 1937. Rukeyser also, and perhaps most famously, traveled to Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, to investigate for herself a rash of silicosis cases among miners there (the cases, and the Congressional Investigation into them, had received a good deal of coverage in the American media). The research she conducted there was fashioned into The Book of the Dead U.S. 1 Though often attacked by critics on the political Left and Right alike, Rukeyser continued to write and publish poetry throughout her life. Among her best, and most important, books are: A Turning Wind Beast in View The Green Wave Elegies Body of Waking The Speed of Darkness Breaking Open (1973), and The Gates (1976). She also published biographies of Willard Gibbs, Wendell Wilkie, and Thomas Hariot; fiction; plays and film screenplays; translations of work by Octavio Pax and Gunnar Ekelöff; and, in 1949, The Life of Poetry Similarly, politics continued to inform Rukeyser’s life and work. It was, in fact, Rukeyser’s feminism and her vocal opposition to the War in Viet Nam that drew the attention of a new generation to her poetry in the 1960s. She served as President of PEN’s American Center to fight for the human rights of writers around the world. The centrality of political work, and the connection between that work and Rukeyser’s literary career, is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that a thwarted attempt to visit Korean poet Kim Chi Ha on death row in South Korea forms the basis for her last book’s title poem, "The Gates." Rukeyser died on 12 February 1980.
