{"product_id":"the-collected-poems-of-muriel-rukeyser-9780822959243","title":"The Collected Poems of Muriel Rukeyser","description":"Muriel Rukeyser held a visionary belief in the human capacity to create social change through language. She earned an international reputation as a powerful voice against enforced silences of all kind, against the violence of war, poverty, and racism. Her eloquent poetry of witness-of the Scottsboro Nine, the Spanish Civil War, the poisoning of the Gauley Bridge laborers-split the darkness covering a shameful world. In addition to the complete texts of her twelve previously published books, this volume also features new poems discovered by the editors; Rukeyser's translations, including the first English translations of Octavio Paz's work; early work by Rukeyser not previously published in book form; and the controversial book-length poem Wake Island. An introduction by the editors traces Rukeyser's life and literary reputation and complements discerning annotations and textual notes to the poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Kaufman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.21w x 1.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822959243","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713447104649,"sku":"9780822959243","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_05b1fb88-19bf-414e-941e-e1e1115e11f2.jpg?v=1719611916","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-collected-poems-of-muriel-rukeyser-9780822959243","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
