Fog

by Lola Ridge

Lola Ridge's *The Ghetto, and Other Poems* is a collection of poetry that reflects the harsh realities of urban life in early 20th-century America. Ridge, an Irish-American anarchist, uses her poems to expose the injustices faced by the working class, immigrants, and the marginalized. Her poems are characterized by their stark realism, their social commentary, and their powerful imagery. She delves into themes of poverty, labor, and the struggles for social justice, weaving a tapestry of urban life that is both harrowing and hopeful.
