"This American Book Award-winning collection begins with Edward Sanders's famous first 'Poem from jail,' written in 1961 dring his incarceration for disrupting the christening of a nuclear submarine, and covers the twenty tumultuous years that followed. Revised and updated with sixteen new poems, this vital addition to all collections of contemporary American poetry and culture chronicles Sanders's literary, political, and rock 'n' roll adventures, as well as the sensuous joys of rural and semi-rural life." -- From the rear cover.
