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.About the American Poets ProjectElegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today's most discerning poets and critics. 230 pp. Englisch, Books<

Muriel Rukeyser (1913?80) published her first book?the powerfully experimental "Theory of Flight"?at age twenty-two, and went on to an adventurous and prolific career as poet, translator, and political activist. Her expansive energies sought a poetry in which politics, geography, sexuality, mythology, and autobiography could find fused and fluid expression. From her early, brilliantly cinematic ?Poem Out of Childhood? through excerpts from her long wartime ?Letter to the Front? to her late ?Resurrection of the Right Side, ? written after her stroke, this selection represents the many sides and selves of a major poet.
