Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) was an American poet and activist known for addressing social justice, equality, and feminism in her work. Her poem, beginning with "I lived in the first century of world wars," utilizes careful word choice to reinforce her anti-war message:
"Slowly I would get to pen and paper,
Make my poems for others unseen and unborn.
In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,
Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,
Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values."
Through these lines, she expresses hope that her poetry would outlast her life, serving as guidance for future generations who might strive for peace and justice. She writes:
"We would try by any means
To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,
To let go the means, to wake."
This suggests passing responsibility to those who come after her, hoping they will become dedicated peacemakers.
