ISBN: 9780822942474.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuriel Rukeyser held a visionary belief in the human capacity to create social change through language. She earned an international reputation as a powerful voice against enforced silences of all kind, against the violence of war, poverty, and racism. Her eloquent poetry of witness-of the Scottsboro Nine, the Spanish Civil War, the poisoning of the Gauley Bridge laborers-split the darkness covering a shameful world. In addition to the complete texts of her twelve previously published books, this volume also features new poems discovered by the editors; Rukeysers translations, including the first English translations of Octavio Pazs work; early work by Rukeyser not previously published in book form; and the controversial book-length poem Wake Island. An introduction by the editors traces Rukeysers life and literary reputation and complements discerning annotations and textual notes to the poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118281777205,"sku":"ByrdShop_082294247X","price":135.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780822942474_fc07583a-e104-4c34-a2c7-418f4c1443d4.jpg?v=1781139884","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/collected-poems-of-muriel-rukeyser-9780822942474","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
