"Learning from the Work Muriel Rukeyser Left Unfinished"
"The unpublished and unfinished text can move us toward new understandings, and it can help us recognize communities and aesthetic legacies we have not recognized before, while also exposing the histories of suppression. Aware of the ways in which people refuse to see and connect, Rukeyser's writing often asks us to look beyond what is most easily visible in our culture and documents what has been supressed in service of power."

What Sparks Poetry:
Adam Dickinson (St. Catharines, Ontario) on Ecopoetry Now
"My poem responds to dioxin in part by reflecting on the complex history of the chemical as well as my own potential exposure history. I spent a significant portion of my life living and traveling in central and northern Ontario, Canada, never far from pulp and paper mills and their distinctive sulfurous smell and insidious environmental footprint." |
