About This Item
Philadelphia: Whittier Press, N.d. [1953]. First Edition. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed self-wrappers; 7pp. Hint of oxidation at staples, else Fine. Endorsement by Howard Fast at head of rear wrapper, with brief author statement. The somewhat uncommon first printing of Lowenfels's long poem criticizing America's entry into the Korean conflict, written weeks before his own arrest, trial, and conviction under the Smith Act in July, 1953. This long poem marked Lowenfels' return to poetry after a nearly twenty-year hiatus, and is the signal work of his later period. There is no printing statement, but later printings add details regarding the Smith Act case (2nd printing) and a lengthy endorsement from Luis Aragon (3rd printing).
