Spaces and Dreams in Muriel Rukeyser’s “The Speed of Darkness”

Trent Wintermeier

In 1969, American poet Muriel Rukeyser read a group of thirteen poems entitled “The Speed of Darkness” at Sir George Williams University. I argue in this project that digitally-annotating Rukeyser’s reading of the spaces between each stanza in this poem facilitates a new, sonic reading of the poem, one which is shaped through the practice of listening to “doubleness” in “The Speed of Darkness.”
