Edward Sander’s] synergetic fusion of his poetic calling and his laudable career as an activist. The power of the righteous utterance to mutate reality is an article of faith for the countercultural leader, who famously led chants to exorcise the Pentagon. His lyrics ring forth optimism.” —Chronogram “Far-ranging, historically acute, and painfully beautiful.” —Bob Holman, About.com “Ebullient and explosive, an irreverent and highly idiosyncratic ride through the recent years of our diminishing republic. (It’s also very funny.) . . . Raw and cantankerous, yet filled with a mystic energy and power. . . .
