Edwin Rolfe (1909-54) is best known as the poet laureate of the Abraham
Lincoln Battalion, the Americans who volunteered to help defend the elected
Spanish government during its 1936-39 civil war. His career began in the
revolutionary Left in New York in the 1920s and continued into the 1950s,
when Rolfe wrote searing poetry attacking the McCarthy-era witch-hunts.
"With Rolfe's as its inaugural volume, no poetry project seems more necessary at this time and in this place than a series of volumes by radical poets." -- Philip Levine
