It's well worth the reminder of Rukeyer's work, and why we need to keep reading her--myself included!Philip Metreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449159681282927289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910291709965283166.post-23844317119718918882011-12-16T21:27:57.541-05:002011-12-16T21:27:57.541-05:00Thanks for alerting about the issue of Field, of w...Thanks for alerting about the issue of Field, of which I hadn't been aware.<br /><br />I love Muriel Rukeyser's poetry, and was immensely pleased when U. of Pittsburgh issued her <a href="http://www.upress.pitt.edu/BookDetails.aspx?bookId=35531" rel="nofollow">Collected Poems a few years back</a>. I've read much of her poetry and still feel that I haven't really gauged the breadth and depth of her work.<br /><br />I also really like her prose book <i>The Life of Poetry</i>, an exploration of the sources (psychological and material) of poetry, and the nature of poetry, which was the first thing of hers that I read (a little of) many years ago -- more recently I found a new edition of the book, and read it in full.<br /><br />A few years ago I wrote about Rukeyser in my blog, <a href="http://aburningpatience.blogspot.com/2007/01/all-shimmering-names.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, if you care to take a look.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.com
