| Abstract | "This first collection and scholarly edition of Muriel Rukeyser's previously unpublished and uncollected prose draws from her journalism, literary essays, book reviews, lectures, stories, and radio scripts. The selections, annotations, and editorial apparatuses highlight the connections between Rukeyser's modernist experimental poetics and antifascist, antiracist, and queer feminist radical politics"-- Provided by publisher. |
