Title: Denise Levertov's four-page typewritten description "About Muriel"
Creator: Denise Levertov
Description: Dated August 28, 1980, Denise Levertov’s four page, typewritten description, “‘About Muriel,” that she appears to have sent Louise in a separate envelope at a later date.. Levertov recounts how she first met Rukeyser at a dinner event in New York City. Levertov describes Muriel as ‘tall’ and ‘massive’. She remembers Muriel’s deep, rich voice when she greeted her with, “Ah, you've come at last: I've been terribly bored, waiting to meet you!” Muriel outshone all of the other people there, and Levertov describes this effect as resembling “...the cinematic technique which puts all but one character out of focus and concentrates the spectator’s awareness wholly on that central personage.”
