Excerpt from Debs and the Poets
But it appears that there are a great many people in the United States and other countries who do not regard this old man as a common feloni on the contrary, they regard him as a hero, a martyr, even a saint. It appears that the list of these people includes some of the greatest writers and the greatest minds of Europe and America. These persons have been moved to indignation by the treatment of the old man and they have expressed their indig nation. Ruth Le Prade has had the idea of col leeting their utterances. Here are poems by twenty-four poets, and letters from a score or two of other writers.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together the voices of some of the most prominent writers and thinkers of the early 20th century to celebrate the life and legacy of Eugene V. Debs, a labor leader and socialist politician who was imprisoned for his political beliefs. The book presents a collection of poems and letters from figures like H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, and Upton Sinclair, all of whom shared a deep admiration for Debs and his commitment to social justice. The book examines the nature of political persecution and the importance of freedom of speech, highlighting the contrast between Debs's unwavering commitment to his ideals and the government's attempt to silence his voice. It paints a powerful portrait of a man who was imprisoned for standing up for what he believed in, and explores the enduring legacy of his fight for equality and social justice. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling glimpse into a crucial moment in American history and a moving testament to the power of individual conviction in the face of oppression.
