Description
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. Illustrated throughout, Sanders’ poems contain visuals that range from drawings of Egyptian hieroglyphs to a scan of Robert Creeley’s sage counsel, written on a napkin: “Things / come and go. / Then / let them.” Sanders also offers his own advice in “To the Revolutionaries Not Yet Born”: *Work in extra dimensions Think 100 years ahead Enjoy your Revolution Show enough mercy so that Mercy shows the way* With exuberant pragmatism and visionary scholarship, Sanders continues to mark the way forward for poets and peacemakers, rock 'n' rollers, and revolutionaries.
