Abstract
A three page question sheet labeled “Questions 5 July 1977”. The page contains questions about Speed of Darkness; F. O. Matthiessen; whether or not Rukeyser was writing poetry "steadilly" during WWII; details about Rukeyser’s teaching experience, such as when and where she had taught; and Rukeyser’s poetic activities in 1947 and the 1950s. Louise wrote notes on all three pages of the question sheet. The second page contains questions about Allen Ginsberg's Howl; her thoughts on Rexroth, Duncan, Snyder, and Neruda; her work with Paul Radin; the reference to Kay Boyle in "The Gates"; and her acquaintance with Carlo Tresca. The thrid page contains additional questions, with the final one focused on how Rukeyser was able to earn a living as a poet.
