Woody Guthrie, songwriter, poet and Oklahoma folk hero, was a champion of the disenfranchised, of minorities, of the working class, and an advocate for justice, using his music to speak out against injustice in all its forms. His love and understanding for the common man, for the blue-collar backbone of America, is a consistent theme throughout his canon.
The Woody Guthrie Poets is a group dedicated to memorializing in poetry the history and culture of working people and perpetuating the ideals and goals of equality for the working class. They hope to raise world consciousness of the labor and political movements and to give commentary on the social and political environment in the 21st Century, as Woody Guthrie might see it.
This is their 2023 anthology.
