In a letter sent to Bryher on August 1936, Richardson states :”we missed, by the way, Muriel Rukeyser, who, when we came back from Essex, had left town” (317). And, again, in a letter dated November 1936, Richardson gives John Cowper Powys more details: “Horace Gregory introduced one Muriel Rukeyser, fresh from Vassar, poet, airwoman & the most vital woman in young America. We waited trembling, &, when this portent wrote, were away staying with friends. Before we returned, she had gone to Spain. So we never saw her” (324).
