Sanders, Edward

Still Thirsting For Peace

Coventry, England: The Beat Scene Press, 2016. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. Numbered Limited Edition (#37 of 125). Number 52 in the Beat Scene Press Pocket Book Series features a valuable interview of poet, publisher, journalist & activist Ed Sanders, whose constant presence in (and influence on) 1960's countercultural life & thought became a lasting & historical contribution. As cofounder of the memorable bardic-folk band The Fugs & owner of the Peace Eye Bookstore in New York City, Sanders' life & work has consistently avoided narrow categorization. Kevin Ring's 1993 interview of Sanders reprinted here covers Sanders' stage play "Cassandra," the movie adaptation of his cult classic "Tales of Beatnik Glory." Also expounded upon is his expansive interest in mining ancient sources in the Modernist mode--exposing with Thoreauvian resolution the essential sameness of human experience at all eras; thus justifying & enhancing the potency of such framework for contemporary use. Chapbook is in as new condition. As New. [Item #2646]
