Flowers and Ashes

By Louise Bryant

Louise Bryant is best known for her marriage to the journalist John Reed, the author of the classic eyewitness account of the Bolshevik revolution, Ten Days That Shook the World (1919). Emma Goldman, on one of her national lecture tours, had met her in Portland, Oregon, before Bryant herself came to know Reed in the fall of 1915. Goldman thought Bryant’s commitment to radicalism had no depth—an opinion shared by Reed’s former lover Mabel Dodge—but softened her view after Reed’s death in Moscow in 1920. When “Flowers and Ashes” appeared in Mother Earth, Bryant was still married to her first husband, Dr. Paul Trullinger, a Portland dentist (the poem was signed “Louise Bryant Trullinger”). Her own impressions of revolutionary Russia were published as Six Red Months in Russia (1918) and Mirrors of Moscow (1923).
