Witnessing the world of his times, he identified with the working people, Communists, and anarchists. Inevitably, this led to draft evasion, being hounded by the FBI, and eventually imprisonment. Gifted with both prose and poetic literary skills, he wrote extensively in both forms, expressing the mood and temper of the times as seen through his own eyes.
