"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!

200724066<p>New York::: Ecco Press 2007 2010. First Printings of the First U.S. Edition. Fine tight unread copies in Fine bright unclipped dust jackets. These two volumes bring together Herbert's collected poetry and prose. The poetry volume includes: Chords of Light Hermes Dog and Star Study of the Object Inscription Mr. Cogito Report from a Besieged City Elegy for the Departure Rovigo and Epilogue to a Storm. The prose volume includes his four books of nonfiction including: Labryinth on the Sea Still Life with a Bridle The King of the Ants and Barbarian in the Garden. Herbert was a Polish poet essayist drama writer and moralist a member of the Polish resistance movement Home Army AK during World War II. He is one of the best known and the most translated post-war Polish writers. While he was first published in the 1950s a volume titled String of light was issued in 1956 soon after he voluntarily ceased submitting most of his works to official Polish government publications. He resumed publication in the 1980s initially in the underground press. Although Herbert's purpose as a poet and the subjects of his writing are serious he mixes humor and satire effectively. "The most distinctive quality of Herbert's imagination" Laurence Lieberman writes in Poetry "is his power to invest impish fantasy mischievously tender nonsense with the highest seriousness. His humorous fantasy is the armor of a superlatively healthy mind staving off political oppression. Fantasy is an instrument of survival: it is the chief weapon in a poetry arsenal which serves as a caretaker for the individual identity a bulwark against the mental slavery of the totalitarian church and state."</p> Ecco Press,, hardcover

"Prose from Autumn in Gerona" a cinematic series of prose poems slowly reveals a subtle and emotional tale of unrequited love by presenting each scene shattering it and piecing it all back together over and over again.

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
