The definitive edition of selected work from a poet whose influence continues to be widely felt today, introduced by Natasha TretheweyEngaging closely with the violence, oppression, and injustice that she witnessed in her lifetime, Muriel Rukeyser was one of the seminal poets of the mid-twentieth century. Closely informed by issues relating to equality, social justice, feminism, and Judaism, her impassioned poetry was often seen as a mode of social protest, but it was also heralded for its deep emotional impact; its personal perspective; forthright discussion of the female experience, particularly sex and single parenthood at a time when these topics were largely taboo; and its wide-ranging exploration of genre and form. As Adrienne Rich wrote: Muriel Rukeysers poetry is unequalled in the twentieth-century United StatesShe pushes usto enlarge our sense of what poetry is about in the world, and of the place of feelings and memory in politics.The Essential Muriel Rukeyserrepresents the curation of Rukeysers most enduring and urgent work, gathered in one volume that spans the many decades of her life and career, and with an introduction from Natasha Trethewey, one of our most important contemporary poets.
