Softcover. Los Angeles, Red Hen Press, 1st, 2007, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 230 pages. "A true verse novel (real verse, real novel), David Mason's Ludlow revisits one of the cruelest, bloodiest chapters in the history of American labor and state and corporate injustice: the Ludlow coal field massacre of 1914, in which eighteen men, women, and children of coal mining families were killed by the Colorado National Guard. Within a driving narrative that never loses momentum, Mason's deftly drawn characters, both historical and fictional, take on the lineaments of Dorothea Lange's photographs. With Ludlow, reminiscent in its political and dramatic power of Steinbeck's In Dubious Battle, Mason confirms his reputation as one of America's finest poets and a master of narrative." (B.H. Fairchild).
