Sommario/riassunto

This text looks back to the 1920's and 1930's to a generation of poets who wrote with the precise hope and the deep conviction that they would move their audiences to action. It offers a different look at the political poetry of Edwin Rolfe, Langston Hughes, Ezra Pound and Muriel Rukeyser.
