Salute to Spring

This book is fabulous! I love Le Sueur's writing, and this is a wonderful introduction. Her writing is so full of energy and vitality. At times it reads like an extended prose poem. Her writing is breathtaking, but it is often overlooked because of her political stance (she was a part of the socialist movement of the 1930's.) I think that there is something vital and alive about her writing that is lacking in the polished pieces of many modern authors.
