Radical Poetry (for Tuesday, October 23, 2008)


It took me a while to transcribe the poems - -but here's a selection of poetry from the 1935 anthology, Proletarian Literature in the United States. (You can print out the web page - - or download the .pdf file.) You can also read Joseph Freeman's introduction to the whole anthology here.
