Description
Muriel Rukeyser has many faces: poet, biographer, theorist,
playwright, novelist, story-writer, filmmaker, translator, ethnographer, and
innovator of social, documentary poetics; feminist, queer, Jewish, single
mother, and social justice activist. Yet above all, she was a poet. Threaded
through her work, politics, and life was the conviction that poetry is an
animating force that connects people and disciplines. Recent years have seen a
surge of renewed interest in Rukeyser's work, bringing her back into public
consciousness as a crucial voice on the relations between poetry and social
life in America and beyond.
Beyond
Ourselves is the first volume of its kind to comprehensively consider
the continued urgency and lasting legacy of Rukeyser's work as a key source and
inspiration for poets working today. Volume editors Catherine Gander and
Stefania Heim--both scholars and poets--have gathered critical and creative
contributions from some of the most innovative, exciting, and socially engaged
poets writing today. In lyric and braided essays, scholarly critique, hybrid
investigations, documentary collages, and collaborative poetry, these poets
dive deeply into Muriel Rukeyser's work and life to interrogate, explore, and
challenge the models she provides for thinking and writing in our own social,
political, and poetic moment. These essays address a range of themes, from the
transhistorical politics of motherhood and contemporary relational and feminist
poetics of war to communal history via documentary film and the possibilities
of coalition-building beyond borders. As in Rukeyser's own work, the forms of
these texts animate their inquiries.
Beyond Ourselves is a volume at the intersections of creative and critical thought, reflecting on how Rukeyser's expansive body of work offers a vision for, as she writes, 'a kind of imagination with which to meet the world.
