Ralph Chaplin, the Industrial Workers of the World organiser best known for the union anthem Solidarity Forever, wrote these poems while serving a twenty-year federal sentence after the mass wartime trial of IWW leaders. Night in the cell house, prison reveille, the memory of grass and open roads, and defiant mourning for the dead fill the pages, introduced by Scott Nearing.
