Sol Yurick's prose had some of the same im pact as Muriel Ruykeyser%u2019s poetry. Both novelist and poet so fully flesh their %u201cimaginary gardens%u201d that the %u201creal toads%u201d jump out and hit you with the peculiarly cool impact of truth.Sol Yurick: %u201c If Jung talks about the collective unconscious, who collected that unconscious?%u201d Muriel Rukeyser: %u201cthe space we share which is consciousness; the collective unconscious is history.%u201d Both statements hit at the same point in an attempt to crack open the phrase %u201c collective unconscious%u201d which is often read thoughtlessly and spoken carelessly. Both writers seem to be saying, if it means anything, let%u2019s see what that meaning is.In the selection read, rather too hurriedly, by Yurick, he posits a Marxist private detective. %u201cThe private eye with the public view,%u201d whose job is to look into classT W O S TE PS D O W N240 D eka lb Ave.RESTAURANT%u00b0 pen. .

His speculation carries him from the Clutter family, whose murders Truman Capote analyzed in %u201cIn Cold Blood%u201d to the assassinations of the Kennedy%u2019s and Martin Luther King. From Ruby to Manson. And back to the Clutters, whose murderers seemed mad because there was %u201cno money transaction.%u201dMiss Rukeyser makes a metaphor, which has an effect similar to the Marxist privat eye, out of the action of a hot dog stand man in Harlem the summer of the riots. With two empty drink machines on his counter%u2014one labeled orange, the other grape%u2014 he fills them by pouring the dark purple drink into the one marked orange and the bright orange liquid into the one marked grape. When he is asked how we can trust anything th a t%u2019s written if he proceeds in this, he shrugs and %u201ccontinues to pour purple into orange and orange into grape, forever.%u201dAlthough Miss Rukeyser%u2019s voice seemed to tire, she managed to conserve it by splitting her reading into two parts, but this pointed up what has been one repeated flaw in this excellent series of poetry reading%u2014a rather fuzzy and unreliable sound system.MA 4 9 7 7 4 5 TO IO P.
