ANYTHING THAT BURNS YOU: A PORTRAIT OF LOLA RIDGE, RADICAL POET
Book ID/图书代码： 12580016B90609
English Summary/英文概要： ANYTHING THAT BURNS YOU is the first full-length biography of Lola Ridge, a trailblazer for women, poetry, and human rights far ahead of her time. It is a rich and detailed account of the life and world of Lola Ridge, poet, artist, editor, and activist for the cause of women’s rights, workers’ rights, racial equality and social reform.
From her childhood as a newly arrived Irish immigrant in the grim mining towns of New Zealand to her years as a budding poet and artist in Sydney, Australia, to her migration to America and the cities of San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. At one time considered one of the most popular poets of her day, she later fell out of critical favor due to her realistic and impassioned verse that looked head on at the major social woes of society. Moreover, her work and appearances alongside the likes of Margaret Sanger, Emma Goldman, Will Durant, and other socialists and radicals put her in the line of fire not only of the police and government, but also the literary pundits who criticized her activism as being excessive and melodramatic.
This lively portrait gives a veritable who’s who of all the key players in the arts, literature, and radical politics of the time, in which Lola Ridge stood front and center.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书是Lola Ridge的第一本完整的传记，对于这位非凡的女性而言，她在诗歌和人权方面的开拓精神远远领先于她的时代。本书细致而详实地介绍了作为诗人、艺术家、编辑、女权运动以及工人运动、推动人种平等和社会改革活动家的Lola Ridge的生活和她眼中的世界。
书中讲述了她童年如何移民到了新西兰的矿业小城，后来成为在澳大利亚悉尼崭露头角的诗人和艺术家，最后又如何移民美国，住在旧金山，芝加哥和纽约等城市。她是多变的，或许刚刚成为流行诗人，就马上失去了青睐，开始为了重大的社会灾难作起现实并且充满激情的诗句来了。此外，她的工作、相貌以及对于Margaret Sanger、Emma Goldman、Will Durant的偏好都使她与警察和政府不合，还颇受文学评论专家的夸张攻击。
这本生动的传记描述了一个名副其实的名人，无论是艺术、文学还是政治方面，Lola Ridge都毫无疑问地站在最前面、最中心、最关键的地方。(LYR)本书是Lola Ridge的第一本完整的传记，对于这位非凡的女性而言，她在诗歌和人权方面的开拓精神远远领先于她的时代。本书细致而详实地介绍了作为诗人、艺术家、编辑、女权运动以及工人运动、推动人种平等和社会改革活动家的Lola Ridge的生活和她眼中的世界。

"In Anything That Burns You, Svoboda resurrects with her customary passion the brilliant, voracious and scandalous early 20th century poet. In this glorious and important book, Svoboda rehabilitates Ridge from the crime of being born a woman." —Anne Kennedy, New Zealand poet and author, The Last Days of the National Costume
"In Anything That Burns You Terese Svoboda entertainingly parses the enigmatic life and powerful writing of Lola Ridge . . . A story of prejudice, ambition and personal struggle, with Ridge’s long-neglected talent shining through it all." —John Sayles, twice-nominated Academy Award screenwriter, director, novelist
"Radical, modernist, fiery, glamorous, feminist— adjectives and categories can only gesture toward the enduringly significant life and works of the poet Lola Ridge, whose story has been gracefully told, with her poems lucidly understood, by Terese Svoboda." —Robert Pinsky, former Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress

Terese Svoboda has written a brilliant biography, as original as it is compelling. We need more books like this one." —Rene Steinke, author and 2005 National Book Award Nominee, Holy Skirts

No one who cares about American culture will want to miss this book.” —Cary Nelson, editor, Anthology of Modern American Poetry
