Juliet Poyntz (1886-1937)
My poem about Juliet Poyntz is today discussed in some detail on the very much right of centre American website Neo-neocon here http://neoneocon.com/2012/06/18/juliet-poynz-changer/
Poyntz was a founding member of the Communist Party U.S.A. She became disillusioned with Stalinism and was, apparently, 'disappeared' by Soviet agents in New York City in June 1937. Her murder happened at a time when the likes of George Bernard Shaw and Lillian Hellman (to name just two) where loudly telling anyone who would listen what a great guy Stalin was.
