Bars and Shadows: The Prison Poems of Ralph Chaplin
'Bars and Shadows: The Prison Poems of Ralph Chaplin' Summary
Ralph Chaplin and many other prominent members of the Industrial Workers of the World were imprisoned under the Espionage Act of 1917 as the United States entered World War I. As with Socialist presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs, these activists were accused of undermining recruiting efforts and the draft - even of encouraging soldiers to desert. The poems and songs in this volume were composed during Chaplin's four years in prison and represent his defiant attitude in the face of persecution.Book Details
