-- Stan Iverson Archives: Joel Oppenheimer, excerpt, "17-18 April, 1961"




      . . . remember, america
eugene debs said he would not
lead you into paradise if he could,
because if he could lead you in,
someone else could lead you out, that
was the text you ought to have
listened to, that was the text you
ought to have believed, instead you
bought a world free for democracy
& you bought a return to normalcy,
& you bought a new deal, & four
freedoms (freedoms you might only
have, anyhow, if you look deep inside
yourself where all freedom is to be
found, & not with rockwell hands so
carefully & badly drawn . . .& then
america they will be unnumbered for you, america)
america yes the square deal & the
new frontier . . .

— Joel Oppenheimer, excerpt, "17-18 April, 1961"
from Walter Lowenfels, Poets of Today: A New American Anthology.
