Soviet Russia Today. (Vol. 11, No. 10) February,1943. (Cover Title).
(New York: S.R.T. Publications, Inc.), 1943. 1943.

There are two items of special literary interest in this issue. On pages 26-27 is a one-and-a half page poem, "O! Soviet Land!" by little-known African American poet D. Hercules Armstrong. Genevieve Taggard writes a note on Armstrong below the poem. He was born in Georgia in 1919. He was attracted to poetry by the writing of Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen and had poems published in a several magazines. Pursuing his interest in writing for choral groups, he wrote "O! Soviet Land!" for a group of young people who rehearsed the chant and provided feedback. He felt that the writing benefited from its preparation for group production.
On page 27 is an unusual translation by Roy Temple House of Bertolt Brecht's poem "The Soldier's Wife" ["Ballad of the Soldier's Wife"]. Very good .
