SpokenWeb

After hearing ShortCuts on The #spokenwebpod, "Muriel Rukeyser: A Living Archive" (Eastern Michigan University) invited Katherine McLeod to introduce scholars to SpokenWeb's recording of Rukeyser in the lead-up to their symposium, Revisiting Rukeyser's Elegies which takes place Feb. 19 & 20. The recording includes a rare excerpt from Elegies that Rukeyser scholars did not yet know of and that they will listen to as part of this symposium starting this week. If you listened t...o the latest ShortCuts minisode, you'll know part of this story and find out the rest by reading the full blog post!
