'Hymn to the Rebel Cafe' is Ed Sanders' first book with Black Sparrow Press - publisher of Bukowski, Fante, Fielding Dawson, Wanda Coleman - and his first major book of poetry since 'Thirsting for Peace in a Raging Century' which won an American Book Award in 1988. I once heard Sanders perform the title poem. I say perform because he doesn't just read, he reads and moves and plays the lyre and sings. With feeling! It was entertaining and inspirational.

1. "Vibrations", the 1971 autobiography of jazz musician and ethnomusicologist David Amram is about to be republished. Amram was a close friend and musical partner of Jack Kerouac, and I'm sure this book will be worth reading.
