Civil Disobediences: Poetics and Politics in Action
Reviews

David Barsamian, director of Alternative Radio:
“A valuable and inspiring collection that explores the cross sections of culture and politics and the art of dissent.”

Andrei Codrescu:
“Here, finally, is a book I can teach year after year without fear of its becoming dated. The intense pursuit and practice of poetry at Naropa University is astonishingly fresh and alive in this collection by the crème-de-la-crème of the avant-garde. Students, poets, and, for that matter, anybody interested in ideas can spend a useful eon dreaming herein. As my old master, Ted Berrigan, says ‘You have to be true, and you owe everything to your feelings, and you have to make sure you get them right.’ This book doesn't just get them right, it puts them to work in the fantastic universe, in gorgeously erudite, playful, and painful explorings.”

Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth:
“Here is the true Department of Peace. Intellectual thought and devotion to poetry as activist goodwill. Prayers for the warmongers.”

Howard Zinn:
“This is a book one can feast on, an exciting collection of poetry, ponderings, interviews, reminiscences, by a brilliant assemblage, including Allen Ginsberg, Michael Ondaatje, Amiri Baraka. The extraordinary piece by Sonia Sanchez and Ed Sanders’s ‘A Tribute to Sappho’ are alone worth the price of admission.”
