RIDGE, Lola. SUN-UP and Other Poems. New York: B. W. Huebsch, Inc.,
1920. First Edition. Green boards with paper spine label. Ridge was an
Irish-born New Zealand-American anarchist and modernist poet, and an
influential editor of avant-garde, feminist, and Marxist publications.
She was active in radical causes and was among those arrested for
protesting against the executions of Sacco and Vanzetti in 1927. Her
actions during the demonstration in front of the prison on the day Sacco
and Vanzetti were executed were described by Katherine Anne Porter in
her long essay, “The Never Ending Wrong.” Peter Quartermain described
her in the DICTIONARY OF LITERARY BIOGRAPHY as “the nearest prototype in
her time of the proletarian poet of class conflict, voicing social
protest or revolutionary idealism.” Pencil name dated 1920 on front
endpaper; largely unopened. Near Fine, lacking the scarce dustwrapper.
