"A rare exhibition of nearly half a century of Ed Sanders'
glyph-poems produced between 1962 and 2009 will be on display at The
Arm from July 10 through July 31.
"Gallery hours will be Wednesday to Sunday from Noon to 6PM until the
end of the month.
"Building on a long history of utilizing a highly visible language
that continues into the present, Sanders's glyph-poems fuse image
with text, and image as text. Political, personal, ephemeral,
historical, uncanny, and humorous the glyph-poems on display at The
Arm appear in several different mediums, including original drawings,
collages, mimeographed pages from Fuck You/ A Magazine of the Arts
(1962-'65), plus a number of collages, and an artist's book. Over 200
Glyph-works will be featured in the show.
"In addition, Glyphs 1962-2009 will feature new letterpress prints
and a limited edition catalogue produced on location at The Arm.
"Edward Sanders is a poet, historian and musician. He is at work,
since 1998, on a 9-volume America, a History in Verse. The first five
volumes, tracing the history of the 20th century, have been completed
and published in a fully indexed CD format, over 2,000 pages in
length, by Blake Route Press.
"Another recent writing project is Poems For New Orleans, a book and
CD on the history of that great city, and its tribulations during and
after hurricane Katrina. He has been granted a Guggenheim fellowship
in poetry, a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in verse, an
American Book Award for his collected poems, and other awards for his writing.
"Other books in print include Tales of Beatnik Glory (4 volumes
published in a single edition); 1968: A History in Verse; Poetry and
Life Allen Ginsberg: A Narrative Poem; The Family, a history of the
Charles Manson murder group, and Chekhov, a biography in verse of
Anton Chekhov. Sanders was the founder of the satiric folk/rock
group, The Fugs, which has released many albums and CDs during its
45-year history.
"The Fugs have recently completed a CD, Be Free, The Fugs Final CD
(Part I), featuring 14 new tunes. Be Free will be released in late summer.
"Two of Sanders' books, The Family and Tales of Beatnik Glory, are
under option to be made into movies.
"His selected poems, 1986-2008, Let's Not Keep Fighting the Trojan
War will be published by Coffee House Press in the fall of 2009.
"He lives in Woodstock, New York with his wife, the essayist and
painter Miriam Sanders, and both are active in environmental and
other social issues.
"Sanders will perform a section of America, the 17th Century, tracing
the voyage of Henry Hudson up the Hudson River in 1609, at the
Byrdcliffe Art Colony in Woodstockon August 8, as part of the 400th
anniversary celebration of Hudson's discoveries."
