"Rolfe's voice is one that many of us feared was buried forever. .
. . He stands in the forefront of an entire 'lost generation' of
left-wing writers who fused artistic craft with irrepressible
political commitment." -- Alan Wald, author of The Responsibility
of Intellectuals: Selected Essays on Marxist Traditions in Cultural
Commitment "[Rolfe's] Spanish Civil War poems may be the best
written by an American writer, and his McCarthy era poems
brilliantly counteract the often apolitical, rather socially
aseptic poetry of their time." -- Reginald Gibbons, editor of
TriQuarterly The radical journalist and poet Edwin Rolfe wrote
eloquently of the hardships of the Great Depression, the experience
of war, and McCarthy era witch-hunts. More than fifty of his best
poems--some beautifully lyrical and some devastatingly satiric--are
included in Trees Became Torches. Rolfe was widely known as the
poet laureate of the Abraham Lincoln Battalion, the Americans who
volunteered to help defend the elected Spanish government during
the 1936-39 civil war.
