Thirsting for Peace in a Raging Century

by Ed Sanders

This American Book Award–winning collection begins with Edward Sanders' famous first "Poem from Jail," written in 1961 during his incarceration for disrupting the christening of a nuclear submarine, and covers the twenty tumultuous years that followed. Now back in print, this vital addition to all collections of contemporary American poetry and culture chronicles Sanders' literary, political, and rock 'n' roll adventures, as well as the joys of life in rural Woodstock, New York.
