Ed Sanders has been flashing across the American media landscape since the 1960's when he appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine's "alternative culture" issue.  Famous at the time for his Peace Eye Bookstore on Avenue A and Fuck You, A Magazine of the Arts, he also founded The Fugs with Tuli Kupferberg.  

Ed is credited with the concept of "investigative poetry" and his book on Charles Manson, The Family, in spite of being a fabulously written work, was a best-seller in the 1970's.  A collection of his poems Thirsting for Peace in a Raging Century, won the American Book Award in 1988. Most recently he has written a biography of Chekov and is presently the editor of a newspaper, The Woodstock Journal in Woodstock, New York.  Poetry and Revolution was presented as a lecture for the Symposium 'On Content' at The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church in New York in June 1996.  The reformulated Fugs are still performing.
