Lola Ridge

Lola Ridge (1873-1941) was an anarchist poet and an influential editor of avant-garde, feminist, and Marxist publications best remembered for her long poems and poetic sequences. She, along with other political poets of the early Modernist period, has been coming under increasing critical scrutiny at the beginning of the 21st century.

The two public domain texts by Lola Ridge are available at multiple locations online, including at Project Gutenberg and Al Filreis' English 88 site:
