In the 1960s, Edward Sanders co-founded the groundbreaking rock band The Fugs, opened the Peace Eye Bookstore, and appeared on the cover of Life magazine, becoming a hero of the American counterculture. He is a classics scholar, pioneer in investigative poetics, inventor of musical instruments, publisher of The Woodstock Journal, and author of many books, including the best-selling Charles Manson expose The Family, the ambitious, nine-volume project, America: A History in Verse, LET'S NOT KEEP FIGHTING THE TROJAN WAR: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS 1986-2009, and most recently, from Granary Books, A BOOK OF GLYPHS (2014). He lives in Woodstock, New York.
These glyphic works fulfill those grand objectives through modest
means and simple tools. Sanders’ visual and textual dictions are
borrowings from the alphabets and emblems of ancient civilizations.
His unassuming colored-pencil drawings engage the viewer-reader
directly in the personal, present moment of their creation.
*Hyperallergic*
But whether or not one reads the Notes, it is a crowning honor to
the Glyphs that they can speak in the most fuzzily dreamlike way,
making perfect (and different) sense to each reader. Even the most
innocent scan through the book will be rewarding.
