Let's Not Keep Fighting the Trojan War

The major work from a legend of Beat poetry, Yippee politics, and rock ’n’ roll.Let’s Not Keep Fighting the Trojan War picks up where the simultaneously reissued, American Book Award-winning collection, Thirsting for Peace in a Raging Century, left off and spans more than two decades. 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.
