Horizons anglophones2-84269-925-4 From hard scrabble origins on the Plains of North Dakota, to longshoremen organizing on Manhattan’s West Side docks, to living the life of a Bohemian poet in Los Angeles and beyond, Thomas McGrath’s literary aspirations took him far from his humble beginnings. For over six decades, McGrath created poems based largely on the themes of love, work, and political justice. His love of the prairie and his early years on a working farm were central to his life. The virtues of the agrarian community plus the Catholic faith of his family, shaped his Old West character. He was a political progressive and at times a member of the Communist Party of America. In the 1950’s, he was brought before the House Un-American Activities Committee and blacklisted following his appearance. McGrath was the consummate non-conformist in his life and art. He refused to submit to the philosophy that politics and poetry must be kept separate. His epic work, Letter to an Imaginary Friend, is anchored by progressive politics, political and social theory, his love of family, his love of love, and, arguably, the greatest layering of language idioms in the history of American poetry.PoetryépopéeDakota du NordIrlandais-Américainspoésie politiquegauche américaine (Industrial Workers of the World)Parti communiste américainepicNorth DakotaIrish-Americanspolitical poetryAmerican Left (Industrial Workers of the World)Communist Party of AmericaepicNorth DakotaIrish-Americanspolitical poetryAmerican Left (Industrial Workers of the World)Communist Party of AmericaPoetryépopéeDakota du NordIrlandais-Américainspoésie politiquegauche américaine (Industrial Workers of the World)Parti communiste américainepicNorth DakotaIrish-Americanspolitical poetryAmerican Left (Industrial Workers of the World)Communist Party of AmericaAlegria Claribel1327312Beeching Jack558196Bly Robert1165192Dussol Vincent1316395Jacobson Dale1327313Lubka Lewis1327314Martinson David1327315McCarriston Linda1327316Pink David1327317Plumpp Sterling1327318Ramirez Sergio174166Sund Pamela1327319Terkel Studs123431Vinz Mark1327320Watson Rick1327321Woiwode Larry1327322Sund Pamela1327319Dussol Vincent1316395FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910552974903321Thomas McGrath3037894UNINA
