      abstract = {In 1892, unrepentant anarchists Alexander Berkman, Henry  Bauer, and Carl Nold were sent to the Western Pennsylvania  State Penitentiary for the attempted assassination of steel  tycoon Henry Clay Frick. Searching for a way to continue  their radical politics and to proselytize among their  fellow inmates, these men circulated messages of hope and  engagement via primitive means and sympathetic prisoners.  On odd bits of paper, in German and in English, they shared  their thoughts and feelings in a handwritten clandestine  magazine called "Prison Blossoms." This extraordinary  series of essays on anarchism and revolutionary deeds, of  prison portraits and narratives of homosexuality among  inmates, and utopian poems and fables of a new world to  come not only exposed the brutal conditions in American  prisons, where punishment cells and starvation diets  reigned, but expressed a continuing faith in the "beautiful  ideal" of communal anarchism.},
