Lola Ridge (1873, Dublin-1941, Brooklyn) was a poet and editor active in many radical causes and in avant-garde literary circles in New York in the decades before the world wars. She published five volumes of poetry between 1918 and 1935 and served as an editor at two leading modernist journals, The Broom and Others. Two (unannotated) collections of her early poetry have been published in recent years, edited by Daniel Tobin.
