Resumen de Anything That Burns You: The Social Poetry of Lola Ridge, Genevieve Taggard, and Margaret Walker
This essay explores the work of three neglected American women poets as well as suggests the importance of women’s social poetry as a neglected genre within modern American literary studies. It examines the continuum of a radical literary practice in the United States from the first through the second world wars as produced by the representative examples of Lola Ridge (1873-1941), Genevieve Taggard (1894- 1948), and Margaret Walker (1915-) whilst also maintaining how the social concerns expressed in these poets’ work can tell us much about national and international history as they witnessed it
