Light In Hand

"Though a rebel who was of the lineage of Spartacus, and who entitled one of her books Red Flag, Lola Ridge chose no party but espoused the cause of the downtrodden everywhere in the world. Her struggle became an intensely spiritual one. Harassed by bodily infirmity, which she scorned to have mentioned because she despised the thought that it might win suffrages for her work on extraneous grounds (which, of course, was far from the case!) she came to live almost the life of a recluse, devoting herself with white passion to the search for the fiery core of life. She absorbed interest in the vast and tragic upheaval of the times was prophetically intense, modern literature went down the street of the world, few were aware of a watcher whose eye's extortion (her own word for that of another) pierced to vital essentials."--BOOK JACKET.
