Let's Not Keep Fighting the Trojan War:
New and Selected Poems 1986-2009
Poems
by Edward Sanders
“Sanders [is] the poet-maestro of American history
. ”
—Michael McClure
“Sanders
has been an astonishing and fertile presence in our
cultural and political landscape. . . . But it is
Sanders' poetry, more than anything else he does,
that pulls together all the varied strands of his
interests to weave them into the body of one of our
century's most coherent poetics.”
—Andrei
Codrescu, National Public Radio
“ In Sanders' poetry we find . .
. one of the clearest and most necessary bodies
of work still being written today.”
— Poetry Project
Newsletter
In
this collection, Edward Sanders animates the whole of
human history—breathing
new life into ancient stories, celebrating artists and
activists, telling tales of bohemian escapades, eulogizing
friends and politicians, and lamenting the follies that
have led us to war time and again. With exuberant pragmatism
and visionary scholarship, Sanders continues to mark
the way forward for poets and peacemakers, rock 'n' rollers,
and revolutionaries.
