Paperback. Psalm for DistributionLord,On 8th StreetBetween 6th Avenue and BroadwayIn Greenwich VillageThere are enough shoe storesWith enough shoesTo make me wonderWhere there are shoeless peopleOn the earth.Lord,You have to fire the Angelin charge of distribution.Seeds of Fire brings together the work of over fifty poets from the other USA - including Adrienne Rich, Fred Voss, Grace Paley, Amiri Baraka, Jayne Cortez and Martin Espada. Lyrical, satirical, raging and prophetic, they bear witness against the forces of imperial slaughter, environmental catastrophe and social disintegration. They seek solidarity with the impoverished and war-torn working classes around the world, from Palestine and Iraq, Vietnam and Chile to the beggars on the streets of Washington.These poets sow their seeds of fire in the hope that the real globalisation project is the building of international unity among all those - including the ghosts of John Coltrane, Emmett Till, Tom McGrath, Rachel Corrie, Woody Guthrie, Emma Goldman, Tom Paine and the Blue Cat who believe that a better world is still possible."If you have been feeling as helpless and frustrated and angry with global and national politics as I have, check it out." Rain Taxi'Keep this wonderful volume in the car, or buy an extra copy for the waiting room of your favourite doctor' Pete SeegerJon Andersen lives in New England with his wife, the poet Denise Abercrombie, and their two sons.

Seeds of Fire brings together the work of over fifty poets from the other USA - including Adrienne Rich, Fred Voss, Grace Paley, Amiri Baraka, Jayne Cortez and Martn Espada.
