Thirteen years after his death, Andy Warhol’s art is more dominant and omnipresent than ever before. In particular, his serial worksthe Campbell’s Soup Can, Jackie, Marilyn, Mao, and othershave been reproduced everywhere and have profoundly influenced our perception and thinking about mass culture. This striking book is a highly original survey of Warhol’s entire creative output.The book begins with an overview of Warhol’s work by Ernst Beyeler and Georg Frei that ranges over the Campbell’s Soup Can pictures, Warhol’s first attempt at using a succession of images based on the same motif in various paintings; the early silk screen prints (portraits of such teenage idols as Elvis Presley, Warren Beatty, and Natalie Wood); the Disaster pictures, which reveal the dark side of American consumer positivism; and the later works, including the Last Supper in which Warhol celebrates his own immortality. Peter Gidal then discusses two of Warhol’s single works, the monumental Saturday’s Disaster and the thirty-minute film Blow Job. And Edward Sanders examines some of Warhol’s images in the context of his life and times. Together the text and copious illustrations are a magnificent testimony to Warhol’s contributions to the world of art.

A dramatic portrait of America's iconoclastic poet, "The Poetry and Life of Allen Ginsberg" reveals in detail the man and artist through the eyes and in the voice of a Ginsberg intimate, a fellow poet and admirer, who shared the outlook and the time with one of America's most outspoken and controversial literary figures. Edward Sanders' poem leads us through history as witnessed and created by Ginsberg, introducing us to friend and foe, the luminaries and ordinary folk that populated Ginsberg's teeming world.

From "An East Village Hippie in King Arthur's Court":He stopped for an order of potato pierogis at Odessa's on Avenue A. Suncatch took great pleasure in pierogi. Somehow, the ripply sourcream-dappled little pockets of Ukrainian pasta, shiny with oil, gave his mouth little jolts of enjoyment that were almost erotic as they rippled past his teeth and tongue and made the nerve sheathes fire with limberlimbic fusillades of happiness.

The indomitable spirit of the people of New Orleans is the focus of this powerful suite of poems by counterculture icon Ed Sanders. The book begins with a series of vivid evocations of key events and personalities in the city’s history, then brings this colorful legacy into the present with the harrowing force of Hurricane Katrina. That natural catastrophe, multiplied by human indifference, incompetence, and greed, is explored as a watershed demonstration of the sociopolitical fissures underlying modern America. At the core of the book is the saga of the Lebage family, beginning with Lemoine Lebage, who fought with Andrew Jackson’s forces in the Battle of New Orleans and then set down roots in the city. Five generations later his descendant Grace Lebage is a singer and poet struggling to restore her life after Katrina has wrecked her ancestral home. Although the enormous, still-unfinished tragedy of Katrina suffuses Poems for New Orleans, human resilience in the face of adversity is its ultimate subject. Here is a New Orleans only glimpsed by the outside world, a place whose creativity, humor, and triumphant spirit no tragedy can overcome.
