Description
-
A photocopied sheet, dated May 1981, that contains a copy of a review of Louise Kertesz’s book by Annette Colodny from American Literature. The review is not complimentary, and someone, presumably Louise, has underlined parts of the review that say, statements such as, "Instead, she chose to waste precious space quoting and responding to criticisms or reviews long since faded from memory (if indeed, we never attended to them in the first place) One of the most jarring parts of the review states that, “So, too, in a way, does Muriel Rukeyser in Louise Kertez’s The Poetic Vision of Muriel Rukeyser. The timing of the Kertesz study happily coincides with the publication of Rukeyser’s Collected Poems (New York, McGraw-Hill, 1979) and, less happily, with the year in which we wish to commemorate the achievement of a woman whose passing we have only to recently mourned. The problem with the book is that it fails to do full justice to that achievement”.
