Review Quotes: "A wonderfully tessellated congregation of contemporary takes on one of the most significant polymaths of American modernism. This rousing, open-hearted collection demonstrates how Rukeyser's impressive oeuvre continues to inspire new instances of critical inquiry and creative expression."
