Thirsting for Peace in a Raging Century: Selected Poems 1961-85 (Selected Works 2)

“If you want to know what the ’60s really were about, you’ll find out between [these] covers.” — The Kansas City Star

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.

A legend of the American counterculture, Edward Sanders’ recent books include Poems for New Orleans and Let’s Not Keep Fighting the Trojan War.
