Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Rolfe's voice is one that many of us feared was buried forever. . . . He stands in the forefront of an entire 'lost generation' of left-wing writers who fused artistic craft with irrepressible political commitment." -- Alan Wald, author of The Responsibility of Intellectuals: Selected Essays on Marxist Traditions in Cultural Commitment "[Rolfe's] Spanish Civil War poems may be the best written by an American writer, and his McCarthy era poems brilliantly counteract the often apolitical, rather socially aseptic poetry of their time." -- Reginald Gibbons, editor of TriQuarterly The radical journalist and poet Edwin Rolfe wrote eloquently of the hardships of the Great Depression, the experience of war, and McCarthy era witch-hunts. More than fifty of his best poems--some beautifully lyrical and some devastatingly satiric--are included in Trees Became Torches. Rolfe was widely known as the poet laureate of the Abraham Lincoln Battalion, the Americans who volunteered to help defend the elected Spanish government during the 1936-39 civil war. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

In the original Gothic illustrated dust jacket by 'Shields': chipped, rubbed and creased. Very good/ good+ A pleasing copy of the British edition of Edwin Rolfe's only foray into crime writing, of which the New York Times wrote: "the story is so fast and so tough that one is not surprised to learn that Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall are to star in the film version of it". Warner Brothers bought the film rights to The Glass Room almost immediately, hiring Rolfe and Fuller as screenwriters. With both men members of the Communist Party, however, the film was an early casualty "of the inquisition." The book fared better, with this British edition appearing on the heels of the American edition and contracts for a French edition and for a Portuguese translation in Brazil following later. The Glass Room was also published as a 25-cent paperback by Bantam Books (no. 310) in 1948. Edwin Rolfe (born Solomon Fishman; 1910-1954) was a journalist, poet, Communist activist and veteran of the Spanish Civil War. He served with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, becoming the "unofficial poet laureate of the American volunteers". Following a move to Los Angeles, Rolfe worked briefly in Hollywood, before being blacklisted by the House of UnAmerican Activities Committee (HUAC); he went on to produce "the strongest body of anti-McCarthy poems of any American poet". Lester Fuller (1908-1962) was a writer and director, perhaps best known for Monte Carlo Baby (1951), which launched the career of Audrey Hepburn. Like Rolfe, he was blacklisted by HUAC.
