Selected and new poems

Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR AND RARE--------------SELECTED & NEW POEMS by DANIEL BERRIGAN.................Daniel Joseph Berrigan, S.J. (May 9, 1921 - April 30, 2016), was an American Jesuit priest, anti-war activist, and poet. "I see an "interlocking directorate" of death that binds the whole culture. That is, an unspoken agreement that we will solve our problems by killing people in various ways; a declaration that certain people are expendable, outside the pale. A decent society should no more have an abortion clinic than the Pentagon." Like many others during the 1960s, Berrigan's active protest against the Vietnam War earned him both scorn and admiration, but it was his participation in the Catonsville Nine that made him famous. It also landed him on the FBI's "most wanted list", on the cover of TIME magazine, and in prison. His own particular form of militancy and radical spirituality in the service of social and political justice was significant enough, at that time, to "shape the tactics of resistance to the Vietnam War" in the United States. For the rest of his life, Berrigan remained one of the US's leading anti-war activists. In 1980, he founded the Plowshares Movement, an anti-nuclear protest group, that put him back into the national spotlight................This is the stated Doubleday First Edition from 1973.
