"No Compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!" - Earth First! <br /> <br /> Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980 founded by Dave Foreman Mike Roselle Howie Wolke Bart Koehler and Ron Kezar among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group and the monkey wrench is their ever-present emblem and tool. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice" Dave Foreman 1980s. The late-1980s and early-1990s were a tumultuous time for Earth First! Law enforcement cracked down on its members and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's 2000's and 2010's the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First! Journal under this title seems to have ceased sometime in the early 2020s though the movement still survives and maintains a presence online and on social media.<br /> <br /> Front cover half-page folded illustration by Hungry Knife shows colorful animal cartoon characters preparing for the "EF!

200126369<p>Poetry Anthology . City Lights Pocket Poets Anthology. Edited by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. San Francisco: City Lights Press 2001. Later printing. A Fine copy in illustrated hardcover binding. Lawrence Ferlinghetti founded the City Lights publishing house in 1955 launching the press with his now legendary Pocket Poets Series. First in the series was Pictures of the Gone World—and within a year he had brought out two more volumes translations by Kenneth Rexroth and then poems by Kenneth Patchen. But it was the success and scandal of Number Four Howl & Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg 1956 that put City Lights on the map positioning the Pocket Poets Series at the forefront of the literary counterculture.</p><p>A landmark retrospective this edition provides an invaluable distillation of the energetic iconoclastic and still fresh body of work represented in the ongoing series. Ferlinghetti has selected a handful of poems from each of the sixty volumes including the work of Ginsberg Kerouac Corso Pasolini Voznesensky Prévert Mayakovsky Cortázar O'Hara Ponsot Levertov di Prima Duncan Lamantia Lowry and more all of the Pocket Poets Series' innovative influential and often ground-breaking American and international poets.</p> City Lights Press, hardcover

200627828<p>Poetry Heaney Seamus. District and Circle: Poems. New York: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2006. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. In this collection Heaney's starts "In an age of bare hands and cast iron" and ends as "The automatic lock / clunks shut" in the eerie new conditions of a menaced twenty-first century. In their haunted almost visionary clarity the poems assay the weight and worth of what has been held in the hand and in the memory. Images out of a childhood spent safe from the horrors of World War II – railway sleepers a sledgehammer the "heavyweight / Silence" of "Cattle out in rain" – are colored by a strongly contemporary sense that "Anything can happen" and other images from the dangerous present – a journey on the Underground a melting glacier – are fraught with this same anxiety. But District and Circle which includes a number of prose poems and translations offers resistance as the poet gathers his staying powers and stands his ground in the hiding places of love and excited language. </p> Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, hardcover
