Poetry. With an introduction by Joanne Kyger. "Sanders [is] the poet-maestro of American history"--Michael McClure. Picking up where THIRSTING FOR PEACE IN A RAGING CENTURY left off and spanning more than two decades, Edward Sanders' new collection animates the whole of human history--breathing new life into ancient stories, celebrating artists and activists, telling tales of beatnik escapades, eulogizing friends and politicians, and lamenting the follies that have led us to war time and again.
