{"product_id":"9780822980186","title":"Collected Poems Of Muriel Rukeyser","description":"\u003cp\u003eMuriel 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081099624688,"sku":"9780822980186","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780822980186_p0.jpg?v=1763752689","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780822980186","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
