"In 1965 Lowell protested the Vietnam War by publicly refusing President Johnson's invitation to a White House Festival of the Arts, just as he had declined the draft twenty-two years before. [Lowell served five months in West Street jail, in New York, and federal prison at Danbury, Connecticut, after refusing to serve in the army when he was inducted in 1943.] Again there was a brouhaha, and again Lowell briefly became a public figure, admired by war protesters and reviled by war supporters. He spent the next years actively involved in anti-war protests, such as the 1967 March on the Pentagon, and in aiding Senator Eugene McCarthy's 1968 Presidential candidacy. Lowell also published a series of anti-war works," including this translation. (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.
