Poetry. Ed Sanders has been all over the map and always remained close to the center of counterculture resistance and in the forefront of defenders of freedom of speech. In this collection of new poems, he revisits some of his substantial fellow travelers, in poems to Ginsberg, Kerouac, Snyder, Ferlinghetti, and Olson. He pens odes to anarchist Emma Goldman and environmentalist Rachel Carson. He attacks our nation's leaders from Hamilton to Cheney, lavishes attention on a poem by Sappho (Greek included), and ends with a moving tale based on a story by Chekhov.
