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
