61. Soup: Muriel Rukeyser December 01, 2002. muriel rukeyser. please excuse me if this is a second time. i am trying to find a copy of the poem the speed of darkness by muriel rukeyser. http://soup.polydistortion.net/articles/2002/12/01/001210.html

stories from the suburbs, or something. Main December 01, 2002 Muriel Rukeyser One of my favourite poets, Muriel Rukeyser, wrote a poem that seems to capture the mood of a country determined to go to war, and a faith for the 'unborn' imaginings that will bring peace. Poem I lived in the first century of world wars. Most mornings I would be more or less insane, The newspapers would arrive with their careless stories, The news would pour out of various devices Interrupted by attempts to sell products to the unseen. I would call my friends on other devices; They would be more or less mad for similar reasons. Slowly I would get to pen and paper, Make my poems for others unseen and unborn. In the day I would be reminded of those men and women Brave, setting up signals across vast distances, Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values. As the lights darkened, as the lights of night brightened, We would try to imagine them, try to find each other. To construct peace, to make love, to reconcile Waking with sleeping, ourselves with each other

62. Muriel Rukeyser's The Book Of The Dead, By Tim Dayton muriel rukeyser s The Book of the Dead. Tim Dayton. The Book of the Dead by muriel rukeyser was published as part of her 1938 volume http://www.umsystem.edu/upress/spring2003/dayton.htm

Muriel Rukeyser's The Book of the Dead Tim Dayton The Book of the Dead by Muriel Rukeyser was published as part of her 1938 volume U.S. 1. The poem, which is probably the most ambitious and least understood work of Depression-era American verse, commemorates the worst industrial accident in U.S. history, the Gauley Tunnel tragedy. In this terrible disaster, an undetermined number of menlikely somewhere between 700 and 800died of acute silicosis, a lung disorder caused by prolonged inhalation of silica dust, after working on a tunnel project in Fayette County, West Virginia, in the early 1930s. After many years of relative neglect, The Book of the Dead has recently returned to print and has become the subject of critical attention. In Muriel Rukeyser's "The Book of the Dead," Tim Dayton continues that study by characterizing the literary and political world of Rukeyser at the time she wrote The Book of the Dead. Rukeyser's poem clearly emerges from 1930s radicalism, as well as from Rukeyser's deeply felt calling to poetry. After describing the world from which the poem emerged, Dayton sets up the fundamental factual matters with which the poem is concerned, detailing the circumstances of the Gauley Tunnel tragedy, and establishes a framework derived from the classical tripartite division of the genresepic, lyric, and dramatic. Through this framework, he sees Rukeyser presenting a multifaceted reflection upon the significance, particularly the historical significance, of the Gauley Tunnel tragedy. For Rukeyser, that disaster was the emblem of a history in which those who do the work of the world are denied control of the vast powers they bring into being.

The Life of Poetry by Muriel Rukeyser With a new foreword by Jane Cooper " The Life of Poetry has the urgency of saying what one believes in the face of crisiscrisis of the spirit and crisis in the world. . . . Rukeyser's book is about poetry, always, and also about much more . . . modern film, jazz, war, science, musical comedy, her own childhood and youth. . . . A brilliant mind fiercely at work." The New York Times Book Review "Muriel Rukeyser loved poetry more than anyone I've ever known. She also believed it could change us, move the world. This deep and challenging book is testament to her faith that we need not encounter Poetry with fear. That openness to Poetry opens us to our most essential inner life." Alice Walker "The Life of Poetry is a heartfelt, majestic testimonial, entirely without the shortcomings of its genre. . . . It is highly charged, emotionally, and full of beautiful, sonorous language, but its greatest virtue is that it has a bold thesis, bluntly stated: poetry can save your life." The Provincetown Banner "Like most of Muriel Rukeyser's work

65. Muriel Rukeyser, The Orgy muriel rukeyser, The Orgy (Paris Press, 1997). Michelle Erica Green. Information on muriel rukeyser can be found here. And here s a Web site for Puck Fair. http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_rukeyser_orgy.html

Muriel Rukeyser, The Orgy (Paris Press, 1997) Every year at Killorglin on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August, the residents of County Kerry hold Puck Fair. One of Ireland's oldest festivals, it begins with the crowning of a goat, King Puck, rumored to represent either a rambunctious 17th century he-goat who protected Killorglin from pillaging Roundheads or an 1808 British law that made it illegal to levy tolls at cattle, horse and sheep fairs but not goat fairs. Yet the traditional celebration goes back much further: the charter for the fair in Killorglin was granted by James I in 1603, and though most of the locals won't discuss it, the celebration likely descends from pagan harvest rites celebrating the Puck as a fertility god. Officially, the fair offers farmers and craftsmen an opportunity to display and sell their goods while providing entertainment and competitions for amateur athletes, street vendors and children. Unofficially, it offers a boost to the local economy as homes and stores transform into inns and pubs. Unlike many of the reinvented festivals elsewhere in Britain and Ireland, which now exist primarily for tourists, musicians and artisans, Puck Fair has not been sanitized. When poet Muriel Rukeyser visited in 1958 to do research for a documentary film, she discovered that the whiskey flowed freely, the streets were covered in cow dung, and the sexual laughter usually confined to private spaces could be heard around the bridge. The Orgy is Rukeyser's tale of self-discovery, originally published as a novel to protect the privacy of individuals and the political ramifications of her revelations (particularly the presence of I.R.A. supporters). The current publisher, Paris Press, has "corrected certain names," "amended some inaccuracies," and changed the book's designation from fiction to memoir. Yet the author notes on the first page, "All the characters and acts of this book...are of course a free fantasy on the event," and during the story explains that there are certain things she "could never set down in writing."

Above: Muriel Rukeyser, Adrienne Rich The poetry of Muriel Rukeyser confronts the turbulent currents of 20th-century history, as it explores with depth and honesty the realms of politics, sexuality, mythic imagination, technological change, and family life. She 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 refused to compartmentalize herself or her work," writes editor Adrienne Rich, "claiming her right to intellect and sexuality, poetry and science, Marxism and myth, activism and motherhood, theory and vision...She was one of the great integrators, seeing the fragmentary world of modernity not as irretrievably broken, but in need of societal and emotional repair." This new selection provides an indispensable introduction to her adventurous and prolific work. ISBN: Price: Series number: 180 pp. Purchase this volume: Amazon.com

Site Orientation Heath Orientation Timeline Access Author Profile Pages by: Fourth Edition Table of Contents Concise Edition Table of Contents Authors by Name Authors by Year ... Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Muriel Rukeyser From the outset, Muriel Rukeyser was at once a political poet and a visionary. At times, those qualities were intensified, and in those moments she was simultaneously a revolutionary and a mystic. But to grasp the forces that drive her work—throughout the nearly 600 packed pages of her Collected Poems Although Rukeyser was quite capable of writing short, tightly controlled poems—”The Minotaur” in the book is a good example—it may well be that her most rich and suggestive accomplishments are her poem sequences. Two of the poems in this selection in the book are thus taken from longer sequences; “Absalom” is from “The Book of the Dead” and “Les Tendresses Bestiales” (the bestial tendernesses) is from “Ajanta,” a poem sequence that takes its title from the name of a famous group of painted caves in India. “The Book of the Dead,” in particular, is one of the major poem sequences of American modernism. Based on Rukeyser’s own research in West Virginia, it combines historical background, congressional testimony, and the voices of a number of victims in telling the story of a 1930s industrial scandal: a company building a tunnel for a dam decided to double its profit by rapidly mining silica at the same time (without any of the necessary precautions). A great many workers died of lung disease as a result. “The Book of the Dead” is thus also one of Rukeyser’s many poems that reflect and contribute to her political activism. “How We Did It,” also reprinted in the book, is another; it recalls a demonstration about the Vietnam War, a war that Rukeyser experienced still more directly during a peace mission to South Vietnam in 1972.

Muriel Rukeyser Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Muriel Rukeyser was a political poet whose verse is noted for its intricate style and sophistication. She was born in New York City and attended Vassar College and Columbia University. Though from a wealthy family, Rukeyser was deeply concerned with the plight of laborers, the downtrodden, and the disadvantaged. She was shocked by the working conditions and meager wages of the lower classes and attracted to the solidarity she witnessed in the labor movement. Her political activism began in 1932 when she was covering the Scottsboro trials in Alabama for the Student Review and was briefly detained by the police because she was seen speaking with African American journalists. Later, she would lobby for the loyalists during the Spanish Civil War, speak out on behalf of Sacco and Vanzetti, protest the Vietnam War, and write against the persecution of Kurds in Iran. Her poems of social protest deal with the inequalities she witnessed in race, gender, and class, both in America and abroad. Rukeyser always considered herself a poet of the radical left, and her poems often connect an emotional reaction with a political or social event.

Born in 1913, the poet Muriel Rukeyser took the science of Edison and the Wright Brothers as a tool for her work. Her first book of poems, Theory of Flight, was named for her aviation manual. Working as a journalist and film editor, Rukeyser brought new proto-hypertextual techniques to her writing, creating a swappable stream of scenes on which she imposed cuts , to make associative links.
