[Rarebooks] FS: Anarchist Poet Lola Ridge: RED FLAG, 1927

[Charles Agvent]

RIDGE, Lola. RED FLAG. New York: The Viking Press, 1927. First Edition. 
Orange and gold paper-covered boards with a black cloth spine with paper 
label. Includes poems saluting the Russian Revolution. 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.” Partly unopened. Very Good, lacking 
the scarce dustwrapper. (#021276)        $350
