About This Item
Philadelphia: Whittier Press, N.d. [1953]. Third Printing. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed self-wrappers; 7pp. Hint of oxidation at staples, else Fine. Endorsements by Luis Aragon, I.F. Stone, Howard Fast and others on rear cover. Early (contemporary) reprint 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. This a clean, apparently unread copy of the third printing, which adds Aragon's endorsement to rear wrapper.
