N2  - "John Reed's fame rests largely on his great book, 'Ten Days That Shook the World', the classic account of the 1917 Communist Revolution in Russia. Reed's experiences in Russia during the revolution were depicted in the widely praised film 'Reds'. Reed had built up a distinguished record as a reporter in the years preceding and during the First Word War, and became widely acknowledged as an outstanding American war correspondent. At the same time there was a constant note of idealism in his dispatches and a profound sympathy for the underdog everywhere. Yet side by side with his zestful reporting, and not generally known, Reed had a strong poetic urge. In fact, his literary efforts were in the realm of poetry. Upon Reed's death in Moscow from typhus, a few days before his thirty-third birthday, Louis Untermeyer wrote: 'He was an idealist who combines boisterous humor and a quiet passion for truth. . . I remember him as a the invincible romantic, the poet satirist. . . the exuberant champion of a day to come when it will be possible for poets to challenge and perhaps change the world with their vision." Despite the tumultuous action in so short a life--allying himself with the IWW (International Workers of the World), riding with Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution, imprisoned in Finland, witnessing the Russian Revolution--John Reed kept writing poetry throughout those years. 'Collected Poems' ranges from his youthful years, when he was writing for student publications, to the time of his maturity, when he became, as George Kennan said, 'a poet of the first order.' It includes his satire on Greenwich Village, 'The Day in Bohemia'; his long major work 'America 1918'; and the lyrical ' A letter to Louise (Bryant),' his last poem. This volume, discovered by Corliss Lamont in manuscript form in Columbia University's Rare Book and Manuscript Library, enlarges our concept of the accomplishments and talents of the man whom Utermeyer called 'the most vivid figure of the period.'" -- from book jacket
