Zusammenfassung:Muriel Rukeyser's poem tells that "calling" is not a specific set of responsibilities given to each individual--it is a way of being, a way of living with God. Engel opines that Rukeyser's poem follows the Way and challenges to lay aside one's insistence on the separate self. Engel explores several feminists' views of selfhood in search for his own true calling.
