Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. A great association copy, inscribed on the half-title page: "For Robert [Duncan], love to you and your poems and thanks for the lines on page 21." Uncommon signed in hardcover. The epigraph to the poem, "Searching / Not Searching" on page 21 is from Duncan ("Responsibility is to / use the power to respond") and there may be other lines borrowed in the poem. Both Duncan and Rukeyser are among the most significant 20th century poets. Rukeyser won the Yale Younger Award to launch her career in 1935. Anne Sexton famously said of her, "beautiful Muriel, mother of everyone," a nod to her influence.? Kenneth Rexroth said of her (as he does on the jacket's rear) "I consider Muriel Rukeyser by far the best poet of her exact generation." One of her best known works is the book-length poem The Book of the Dead about the Hawks Nest Tunnel Disaster and the silicosis it wrought on its miners, an early work of environmental justice poetics. Robert Duncan, meanwhile, was a key figure in both the Black Mountain College scene and San Francisco Poetry Renaissance, and his work, modernist in leaning, continues to be a broad influence. Breaking Open is Rukeyser's penultimate book and includes among new work a lyrical series of Inuit songs that she co-translated with an anthropologist. A fine book in fine jacket.
