Born in 1913, the poet Muriel Rukeyser took the science of Edison and the Wright Brothers as a tool for her work. Her first book of poems, Theory of Flight, was named for her aviation manual. Working as a journalist and film editor, Rukeyser brought new proto-hypertextual techniques to her writing, creating a swappable stream of scenes on which she imposed cuts , to make associative links.

ST. ROACH by Muriel Rukeyser from The Gates, McGraw-Hill, 1976 For that I never knew you, I only learned to dread you, for that I never touched you, they told me you are filth, they showed me by every action to despise your kind; for that I saw my people making war on you, I could not tell you apart, one from another, for that in childhood I lived in places clear of you, for that all the people I knew met you by crushing you, stamping you to death, they poured boiling water on you, they flushed you down, for that I could not tell one from another only that you were dark, fast on your feet, and slender. Not like me. For that I did not know your poems And that I do not know any of your sayings And that I cannot speak or read your language And that I do not sing your songs And that I do not teach our children to eat your food or know your poems or sing your songs But that we say you are filthlng our food But that we know you not at all. Yesterday I looked at one of you for the first time.

47. Muriel Rukeyser's The Book Of The Dead, By Tim Dayton muriel rukeyser's The Book of the Dead. Tim Dayton. The Book of theDead by muriel rukeyser was published as part of her 1938 volume http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/spring2003/dayton.htm

Muriel Rukeyser's The Book of the Dead Tim Dayton The Book of the Dead by Muriel Rukeyser was published as part of her 1938 volume U.S. 1. The poem, which is probably the most ambitious and least understood work of Depression-era American verse, commemorates the worst industrial accident in U.S. history, the Gauley Tunnel tragedy. In this terrible disaster, an undetermined number of menlikely somewhere between 700 and 800died of acute silicosis, a lung disorder caused by prolonged inhalation of silica dust, after working on a tunnel project in Fayette County, West Virginia, in the early 1930s. After many years of relative neglect, The Book of the Dead has recently returned to print and has become the subject of critical attention. In Muriel Rukeyser's "The Book of the Dead," Tim Dayton continues that study by characterizing the literary and political world of Rukeyser at the time she wrote The Book of the Dead. Rukeyser's poem clearly emerges from 1930s radicalism, as well as from Rukeyser's deeply felt calling to poetry. After describing the world from which the poem emerged, Dayton sets up the fundamental factual matters with which the poem is concerned, detailing the circumstances of the Gauley Tunnel tragedy, and establishes a framework derived from the classical tripartite division of the genresepic, lyric, and dramatic. Through this framework, he sees Rukeyser presenting a multifaceted reflection upon the significance, particularly the historical significance, of the Gauley Tunnel tragedy. For Rukeyser, that disaster was the emblem of a history in which those who do the work of the world are denied control of the vast powers they bring into being.

READING TIME:    1 MINUTE 26 SECONDS The fear of poetry is the fear : mystery and fury of a midnight street of windows whose low voluptuous voice issues, and after that there is not peace. 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, building his bird to extend through soaring air, as Kafka planned stories that draw to eternity through time extended. And the climax strikes. Love touches so, that months after the look of blue stare of love, the footbeat on the heart is translated into the pure cry of birds following air-cries, or poems, the new scene. Moment of proof. That strikes long after act. They fear it. They turn away, hand up, palm out fending off moment of proof, the straight look, poem. The prolonged wound-consciousness after the bullet's shot.

51. Muriel Rukeyser, The Orgy muriel rukeyser, The Orgy (Paris Press, 1997). Michelle Erica Green. Informationon muriel rukeyser can be found here. And here's a Web site for Puck Fair. http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_rukeyser_orgy.html

Muriel Rukeyser, The Orgy (Paris Press, 1997) Every year at Killorglin on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August, the residents of County Kerry hold Puck Fair. One of Ireland's oldest festivals, it begins with the crowning of a goat, King Puck, rumored to represent either a rambunctious 17th century he-goat who protected Killorglin from pillaging Roundheads or an 1808 British law that made it illegal to levy tolls at cattle, horse and sheep fairs but not goat fairs. Yet the traditional celebration goes back much further: the charter for the fair in Killorglin was granted by James I in 1603, and though most of the locals won't discuss it, the celebration likely descends from pagan harvest rites celebrating the Puck as a fertility god. Officially, the fair offers farmers and craftsmen an opportunity to display and sell their goods while providing entertainment and competitions for amateur athletes, street vendors and children. Unofficially, it offers a boost to the local economy as homes and stores transform into inns and pubs. Unlike many of the reinvented festivals elsewhere in Britain and Ireland, which now exist primarily for tourists, musicians and artisans, Puck Fair has not been sanitized. When poet Muriel Rukeyser visited in 1958 to do research for a documentary film, she discovered that the whiskey flowed freely, the streets were covered in cow dung, and the sexual laughter usually confined to private spaces could be heard around the bridge. The Orgy is Rukeyser's tale of self-discovery, originally published as a novel to protect the privacy of individuals and the political ramifications of her revelations (particularly the presence of I.R.A. supporters). The current publisher, Paris Press, has "corrected certain names," "amended some inaccuracies," and changed the book's designation from fiction to memoir. Yet the author notes on the first page, "All the characters and acts of this book...are of course a free fantasy on the event," and during the story explains that there are certain things she "could never set down in writing."

52. Biography Of Muriel Rukeyser the dark life of muriel rukeyser. by lauren phipps. muriel rukeyser died in 1980,in her hometown of New York City, where she spent her life unhappily. http://project1.caryacademy.org/echoes/poet_Muriel_Rukeyser/Defaultrukeyser.htm

Echoes Main Biography Sample Poetry Inspired Poems ... Bibliography the dark life of muriel rukeyser by lauren phipps The only way to tell about Muriel Rukeyser’s personal life and childhood is through her poetry, where she described herself as alone and unhappy. She was daughter of Lawrence, a businessman, and Myra, a former bookkeeper. She grew up around New York City in the large city, and was inspired by such poets as John Milton, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Walt Whitman. She became a student at Vassar College at the age of 17, and she later attended Columbia University. Rukeyser’s poems were published in the New York Herald Tribune and Poetry. She was also a member of two school publications, the Vassar Review and the Vassar Miscellany News. One of her poems was published in the Yale University Press. Rukeyser also won the award for the Yale Series of Younger Poets contest. She wrote to escape from her everyday life. She lived in New York City, which did not seem as peaceful as living out in the country, where she most likely would have liked to spend more time. This was the main focus of her poetry, along with anger about her childhood, feminism, and political activism. She believed that poets should let the world realize their full potential. She did not want to be a poet who wrote poems just for the sake of writing poems. She wanted her poems to mean something to people and inspire them to be more active in the world. Rukeyser took part in several protests for various causes such has the sentencing to death for eight black men when they raped two white women, and once started her own silent protest in South Korea because the poet Kim Chi-Ha was in prison. Muriel Rukesyer was married once, and had one child by a man she did not marry.

Echoes Main Biography Sample Poetry Inspired Poems ... Bibliography sample poems and analysis Then I Saw What The Calling Was-Analysis by Lauren Phipps “Then I Saw What The Calling Was” illustrates Rukseyser’s desire to be a poet as opposed to what others may have wanted her to be. Other people may have been pressuring her to be something that she was not; she wanted to become a poet. Her name is being called in the poem, but she realizes that it is not for her. Her true calling was with beautiful orchards, trees, and slopes, not t he typical New York landscape. “All the voices of the wood called ‘Muriel’/ but it was soon solved; it was nothing, it was not for me”. In these lines, Rukeyser hears her supposed destiny, but it turns out to be someone else’s life. Also, this shows her desire to live somewhere other than New York City, such as in the country, without the large skyscrapers and with open fields. The poet is trying to be led into a world and life that is not hers, so she ignores “the call” and finds her own world and her own life that is what she wants. There have been times in most people’s life, in which people have tried to turn us into someone we are not, for all those people; this poem is close to home. Then I Saw What The Calling Was by Muriel Rukeyser All the voices of the wood called “Muriel!”

She attended Vassar College and later, Columbia University. Her work was influenced by the violence and inequities she saw around her, such as the Scottsboro trial in Alabama, the Gauley Bridge tragedy in West Virginia and the civil war in Spain. In her poems, she frequently expressed her own experiences within the context of a greater social event. Her wide stylistic range, which includes lyrical forms and the documentary narrative, is illustrated in her Collected Poems (1979). Many women poets have claimed Rukeyser's influence on their work, Anne Sexton among them. She died in New York City in 1980.

stories from the suburbs, or something. Main December 01, 2002 Muriel Rukeyser One of my favourite poets, Muriel Rukeyser, wrote a poem that seems to capture the mood of a country determined to go to war, and a faith for the 'unborn' imaginings that will bring peace. Poem I lived in the first century of world wars. Most mornings I would be more or less insane, The newspapers would arrive with their careless stories, The news would pour out of various devices Interrupted by attempts to sell products to the unseen. I would call my friends on other devices; They would be more or less mad for similar reasons. Slowly I would get to pen and paper, Make my poems for others unseen and unborn. In the day I would be reminded of those men and women Brave, setting up signals across vast distances, Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values. As the lights darkened, as the lights of night brightened, We would try to imagine them, try to find each other. To construct peace, to make love, to reconcile Waking with sleeping, ourselves with each other
