Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A great association copy, inscribed on the half-title page: "For Robert [Duncan], love to you and your poems and thanks for the lines on page 21." Uncommon signed in hardcover. The epigraph to the poem, "Searching / Not Searching" on page 21 is from Duncan ("Responsibility is to / use the power to respond") and there may be other lines borrowed in the poem. Both Duncan and Rukeyser are among the most significant 20th century poets. Rukeyser won the Yale Younger Award to launch her career in 1935. Anne Sexton famously said of her, "beautiful Muriel, mother of everyone," a nod to her influence.? Kenneth Rexroth said of her (as he does on the jacket's rear) "I consider Muriel Rukeyser by far the best poet of her exact generation." One of her best known works is the book-length poem The Book of the Dead about the Hawks Nest Tunnel Disaster and the silicosis it wrought on its miners, an early work of environmental justice poetics. Robert Duncan, meanwhile, was a key figure in both the Black Mountain College scene and San Francisco Poetry Renaissance, and his work, modernist in leaning, continues to be a broad influence. Breaking Open is Rukeyser's penultimate book and includes among new work a lyrical series of Inuit songs that she co-translated with an anthropologist. A fine book in fine jacket.…

Shopbeschreibung

Visit us at www.ruralhours.com. Rural Hours (formerly Wood River Books) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature and science writing, the environment, ecopoetics, contemporary essay, and literary journalism, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. Our name is an homage to Susan Fenimore Cooper's book Rural Hours (1850), considered the first work of environmental nonfiction by an American woman. The daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, Susan Cooper was also an accomplished watercolorist, and her birds from Rural Hours populate these pages. Her rendering of a "chimney swallow" (now known as a swift) serves as our logo and mascot: sleek and elevated, part sky and part city street. Rural Hours is mainly a project of writer and teacher Nick Neely. Along with a pair of MFA degrees in nonfiction and poetry, Nick has a Master's in Literature and Environment from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has much expertise and years of experience in the field of eco-writing. His first book, Coast Range, was a finalist for John Burroughs Medal for nature writing and his second book, Alta California--about a 12-week trek he made along the California coast--was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Check out the "Rambles" page for eventual short essays from him on environmental lit, new books, and more. Rural Hours is a young venture, but we aspire to be among the leaders in the field of rare and interesting eco-writing. We believe, emphatically, that environmental literature and its preservation is in the service of the preservation of the world. In addition to helping serious collectors and institutions build their libraries and archives, our goal is to curate a substantial "house collection" of environmental writing for public display on this site and beyond, one that shows the evolution of the genre(s). That will be a perennial work in progress. We hope to draw a deep, explorable map of environmental writing that traces the lineage and connections between authors and artists determined to render and protect the earth, locally and globally. At the same time, we would like to challenge the usual contours of the "environmental literature" canon and promote a more diverse and inclusive array of voices; in that way, our longterm goal is to excavate the past and curate toward the future. Rural Hours also hopes to eventually have an open shop and gallery space, but for now we are only online. You've come to the right the place. Enjoy poking around, and then head out for a walk.…
