Breathtaking

Muriel Rukeyeser is a wonderful poet, much neglected in the canon of 20th century poets. Her words are awe-inspiring and evoke so many feelings, it's hard to know what to do with them when they emerge. Read these poems out loud, dramatically. Hopefully you will be inspired to stand up straight and shout "Yes, Yes! That's exactly right!" much as I was. Reading her words is like giving my soul pen and paper and being able to read the things it would write.
