Out of Silence: Selected Poems

Muriel Rukeyser published her first book; the powerfully experimental iTheory 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 ldquo; Poem Out of Childhoodrdquo; through excerpts from her long wartime ldquo;Letter to the Frontrdquo; to her late ldquo; Resurrection of the Right Side, rdquo; written after her stroke, this selection represents the many sides and selves of a major poet.
