About the author

Jack Hirschman is a San Francisco poet, translator, and editor. His powerfully eloquent voice set the tone for political poetry in this country many years ago. Since leaving a teaching career in the 60s, Hirschman has taken the free exchange of poetry and politics into the streets where he is, in the words of poet Luke Breit, "America s most important living poet." He is the author of numerous books of poetry, plus some 45 translations from a half a dozen languages, as well as the editor of anthologies and journals. Among his many volumes of poetry are Endless Threshold, The Xibalba Arcane, and Lyripol (City Lights, 1976). "

Reviews

[Tcunniff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Visionary-political poems by one of America's great contemporary voices.

[Arnoldo Garcia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was one of the first books I read by Hirschman, political and non-political lyricism at its best.
