Beecher, John

"AND I WILL BE HEARD"; Two Talks to the American People

New York: Twice A Year Press, 1940. First edition. Paperback. Small 8vo. 43 pp. Blue stapled covers printed in red. Beecher in his two "talks" (prose poems) begins with Garrison (Beecher was descended from the Abolitionist Beechers - Harriet B. Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher, etc.), takes on American corporations, propaganda, and many of the same issues we face today (when he wrote this we were about to enter WW 2):"banks are lousey with idle money". His version of America would fit right in today on MSNBC. A very slightly toned (not as bright as copies we have seen), else a fine copy of the poet's first book. Near fine. Item #10796
