• William H. Pritchard's review of Muriel Rukeyser's recent poetry in The Hudson Review
  Undated. William H. Pritchard’s review of recent poetry for The Hudson Review. The review states that Muriel Rukeyser is on her way to becoming “The Grand Old Woman” of American poetry, or at least that’s what Prichard gathers from the glowing reviews of her collection of twelve books. Erica Jong called Rukeyser “the mother of us all” and Prichard hastens to add that Rukeyser is not his mother. Prichard calls Rukeyser “one of the great bores of American poetry,” comparable to Oscar Williams, Stephen Spender, and Gene Derwood. He also states that Rukeyser has “a reverence for life, complete with deep thoughts about ultimate things,” such as that “it is wrong, evidently, to despise either the clitoris or the penis,” which the reviewer states is “too deep for a simple fellow like me.”
