An excellent collection of poetry reflecting the radical labor, racial, and economic views of a descendant of the Beecher abolitionists who entered a self-imposed life of a vagabond working in open hearth steel mills as a teenager, a officer in the US Navy during WWII stationed aboard the first integrated ship, and a college professor black-list for not taking a loyalty oath. Each poem delves into John Beecher's absolute love for humanity and his work to see a more egalitarian world for all.
