論文の詳細を見る
This essay is a belated tribute to Ruth Stone(1995- ), who has long been slighted in the 20th century academia dominated by modernist poets such as Pound, Eliot, Williams, and Stevens,or by then ethnic minority poets such as Rukeyser, Levertov, or Rich. Now Stone has survived most of her contemporaries who have spoken for 20th American poetry. At the age of 88, she continues to write and speak on behalf of those people pushed to the peripheries of society both by economics and gender or age bias. Lately, the Academy of American Poets has acknowledged her poetical works with prestigious prizes; she is the recipient of the 2002 Wallace Stevens Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the National Book Award for her latest collection of poetry, In the Next Galaxy (2002). This paper is, perhaps, the first critical appraisal (here) for Ruth Stone, who persists in the art of speaking truth; the ensuing discussion will focus on Stone's collection, Ordinary Words (1999), a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
