As a result of the economic hardships during the 1930's, Niedecker went through a Socialism stage, a political stance which was also shared by the core Objectivists and probably by most in the arts during that time in American history. Niedecker's poetry in this phase though wasn't near as good as during the rest of her life. Too singular and obviously allegoric. She eventually loosened the writing up again, but did so while still bringing in socio-political subject matter, only as components for the poetry rather than their being the basis for the poems. Some examples:

........Foreclosure

Tell em to take my bare walls down
my cement abutments
their parties thereof
and clause of claws

Leave me the land
Scratch out: the land

May prose and property both die out
and leave me peace

*

The man of law
......on the uses
..........of grief

The poet
......on the law
..........of the oak leaf

*

Unsurpassed in beauty
this autumn day

The secretary of defense
knew precisely what

the undersecretary of state
was talking about

*

I rose from marsh mud,
algae, equisetum, willows,
sweet green, noisy
birds and frogs

to see her wed in the rich
rich silence of the church,
the little white slave-girl
in her diamond fronds.

In aisle and arch
the satin secret collects.
United for life to serve
silver. Possessed.

*For this last one, it maybe should be pointed out that, at least to me, the only time Niedecker left her distanced, 'objective' voice was when occassionally writing about marriage and love. Which I don't see as a weakness in her poetry, only that she was human (her first marriage ended because of economic reasons during the Great Depression and she never married again after that).
