Muriel Rukeyser Centennial Recipient of the 1935 Yale Younger Poets Prize for Theory of Flight, Muriel Rukeyser (1913–2013) exploded notions of what poetry could do, pushing poetics into the realm of the political. Mentor to Alice Walker, Anne Sexton, and many others, she helped to usher in a new era for women writers through her own passionate example. Rukeyser published twenty collections of poetry, including U.S. 1 and Breaking Open, and is also celebrated for her great prose work The Life of Poetry. - with Ana Bozicevic, Nicole Cooley, Jan Freeman, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, Kimiko Hahn, Joan Larkin, Jan Heller Levi, Anne Marie Macari, Donna Masini, Jena Osman, Alicia Ostriker, William L.

 Oakland - Poetry Flash with Alicia Suskin Ostriker and Philip Memmer Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland presents another installment of the always excellent Poetry Flash, this time with Alicia Suskin Ostriker and Philip Memmer, on Sunday, July 15th at 3pm. Alicia Suskin Ostriker's new book of poems is The Book of Life: Selected Jewish Poems, 1979-2011. Ilya Kaminsky calls it "A Song of Songs, which is not Solomon's but Alicia Ostriker's. A great ages-old hymn to life, to flesh, to memory, is revised again on these pages, with gusto, with passion, with clarity, with eros, with grief." An incisive critic and a major American poet, she has published fourteen books of poems, including The Book of Seventy, The Mother/ Child Papers, and No Heaven. Among her honors are the William Carlos Williams Award, the San Francisco State Poetry Center Award, and the National Jewish Book Award. Philip Memmer's new book of poems is The Storehouses of the Snow. Alicia Ostriker says, "Bitter and brilliant, ardent and persistent, The Storehouses of the Snow is a book to read - no fooling - alongside the Book of Job. Every poem here made me catch my breath in astonishment at Philip Memmer's bold imagination and the sacred relentlessness of his quest." His previous three books include Lucifer: A Hagiography, winner of the 2008 Idaho Prize for Poetry; Threat of Pleasure, winner of the Adirondack Literary Award for Poetry; and Sweetheart, Baby, Darling.
