by Vincent Ferrini, Kenneth Warren, Fred Whitehead
Part of the American Poetry Recovery Series series
Hardback
- Information
Description
With a voice emerging from class tensions, labor struggles, the Great Depression, and World War II, Vincent Ferrini lived as a people's poet crying out for an end to exploitation and organized greed.
Radical Christian gnosis and the conviction that poetry should be more than a display of word-craft distinguished him from poets like T.
S. Eliot, infusing his work with dynamic images of Christ as a fighter, a revolutionary, and a martyr in opposing the mighty for the sake of the poor.
