Excerpt: Because you are four years old the candle is all dressed up in a new frill. And stars nod to you through the hole in the curtain (except the big stiff planets too fat to move about much ) and you curtsey back to the stars when no one is looking.

Lola Ridge was born in Dublin, grew up in New Zealand and Australia, and moved to the United States in 1907. Her first book, The Ghetto and Other Poems was published in 1918. The title poem portrays the Jewish community of Hester Street New York, and deals with the effects of capitalism, gender conflict and conflicts between generations on this immigrant community in ways that bear comparison to the works of Charles Reznikoff. The book was a critical success and led to her involvement with avant-garde magazines such as Others and Broom. Ridge went on to publish four more books of poetry.
