Unknown Date. A photocopied description of a movie about Rukeyser (available as video cassette and a 16mm film), focused on her life and poetry. (Library of Congress No. 78-701170). States that Muriel was rated as one of “The most interesting and individual poets” in 1935 by Stephen Vincent Benet. Describing Muriel’s work, it says, “Always a political poet, she selects those who demean the value of human life as her targets.” “When asked to talk about the obstacles a poet faced, Rukeyser mentions misunderstanding–misunderstanding from oneself, one’s family, the audience. Rukeyser strives to overcome these and the most recent barriers to her poetry, two disabling strokes… Muriel Rukeyser is continually challenged by the difficult job of writing poetry that reaches the people.”
