MURIEL RUKEYSER, Andrena Zawinski, Associate Editor “The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” Muriel Rukeyser Muriel Rukeyser was born and died in New York City where she attended Vassar and Columbia. She taught at Vassar and Columbia as well as at the California Labor School and Sarah Lawrence. She was not locked into any particular form, but instead experimented with language from the lyrical to the narrative. Her commitment to humanitarian concerns reflects itself in her poetry considered by many as visionary. May Swenson, in praise of what Rukeyser dared to write, said, “ Her vision is never small, seldom introverted. Her consciousness of others around her, of being but one member...of humanity surging out of the past, filling the present, groping passionately toward the future, is a generating force in her work.” She remains a controversial poet, one who wrote about broad and diverse subjects including aviation, biology, psychology, religion, anthropology, war, the environment and those that issues that continue to tug at fundamental moral fibers of the times like women's rights, the female body, motherhood, lesbianism, anti-Semitism. William Carlos Williams said of her, “ Rukeyser sounds like Carrie Nation with a political hatchet on a Cook’s tour.” Rukeyser saw everyday living as part and parcel to her poetry. Rukeyser was a mentor of Alice Walker, and among the many women who claimed Rukeyser’s influence upon their work was Anne Sexton, who wrote to her saying, “I just want to tell you again, beautiful Muriel, mother of everyone, how I cherish your words...Your poems move like dreams and sink into my unconscious to reappear at night. “

Muriel Rukeyser Born in New York, Rukeyser later pointed to the silence of her home as her inspiration for writing. Her education at Vassar was interrupted by her father's business failures and so she began her career as a journalist writing about Southern racism and the Spanish Civil War. She wrote for various journals and her first book, Theory of Flight (1935), received the Yale Younger Poets Award. Her poetry expressed her growing social consciousness during a time when many artists were retreating from politics and she was criticized by many of her contemporaries. Yet her work continued to wrestle with Jewish existence, the brutality of war, and injustices the world over; she later protested the Vietnam War. As a single mother, she often wrote about her own identity as a woman, as a Jew and as an artist. Source: Jewish Women's Archive

Muriel Rukeyser This Place in the Ways Having come to this place I set out once again On the dark and marvelous way From where I began: Belief in the love of the world, Woman, spirit, and man. Having failed in all things I enter a new age Seeing the old ways as toys, The houses of a stage Painted and long forgot; And I find love and rage. Rage for the world as it is But for what it may be More love now than last year. And always less self-pity Since I know in a clearer light The strength of mystery. And at this place in the ways I wait for song, My poem-hand still, on the paper, All night long. Poems in the throat and hand, asleep, And my storm beating strong!

Muriel Rukeyser "Metaphor to Action" Whether it is a speaker, taut on a platform, who battles a crowd with the hammers of his words, whether it is the crash of lips on lips after absence and wanting : we must close the circuits of ideas, now generate, that leap in the body's action or the mind's repose. Over us is a striking on the walls of the sky, here are the dynamos, steel-black, harboring flame, here is the man night-walking who derives tomorrow's manifestoes from this midnight's meeting ; here we require the proof in solidarity, iron on iron, body on body, and the large single beating. And behind us in time are the men who second us as we continue. And near us is our love : no forced contempt, no refusal in dogma, the close of the circuit in a fierce dazzle of purity. And over us is night a field of pansies unfolding, charging with heat its softness in a symbol to weld and prepare for action our minds' intensity.

Add to a Notebook Muriel Rukeyser Muriel Rukeyser was born in New York City in 1913. She attended Vassar College for two years and then moved back to New York where she took classes at Columbia. After college, she worked as an editor of the Student Review and witnessed certain events which would make a serious impact on her life and poetry, including the Scottsboro trial in Alabama, the Gauley Bridge tragedy in West Virginia and the civil war in Spain. The violence and injustice she saw, in the United States and abroad, led her poetry to function as a mode of social protest. She felt a deep responsibility to comment on human issues and was particularly concerned with inequalities of sex, race and class. With her poems, she frequently documented her own emotional experiences within the context of a greater political or social event. She was a powerful visionary and her work reflects her wish for a greater world community united by love. She attended Roosevelt Aviation School and her first book, Theory of Flight , demonstrates her knowledge of aviation. She experimented with language and form and her wide technical range, which includes lyrical forms and the documentary narrative, is illustrated in her

The round waiting moment in the theatre : curtain rises, dies into the ceiling and here is played the scene with the mother bandaging a revealed son's head. The bandage is torn off. Curtain goes down. And here is the moment of proof. That climax when the brain acknowledges the world, all values extended into the blood awake. Moment of proof. And as they say Brancusi did
