Description
Selected for presentation at the 2023 Southwest Popular/American Culture Association Conference!
Generations, worldwide, have been influenced and inspired by the music and kind community of psychedelic rock and roll band The Grateful Dead.
Through the years and many incarnations, Dead culture and community is still truckin'.
These are poems from laureates and teenagers, original Haight hippies, professors and felons, combat veterans and pacifists, road-worn Tour regulars, and those just now getting on the bus.
The diversity of these mostly free-verse submissions is as colorful and vibrant as a tie dye, but what a beautiful chorus they combine to form!
Poke around in this collection, and you may just be inspired to hit the road, and set up in the parking lot of your favorite amphitheater, stadium, arena, or coliseum...or to at least pick up your own pen, and spend some time exploring what "The Dead" mean, and have meant, to you.
This anthology features two poems and a foreword written by Andrew William "Sunfrog" Smith, who teaches at Tennessee Tech University and hosts the "Teacher On The Radio" show on WTTU.
Other contributors include Allan Lake, Lex Rodriguez, Dawn Loeffler, Allison Fradkin, Zev Torres, Ann Sanchez, Thomas Murphy, Mike Zone, John Wojtowicz, Alexandra X. Klein, Ahmad Al-Khatat, Jerry O’Rourke, PW Covington, Chuck Taylor, Jr., Rolando Serna, Jim Landwehr, Chris Billings, Don Mathis, D.L. Lang, Jody Mae Loomis, Matt McGee, Margaret Saraco, Charles Luden, Terry Dunbar, Sion Lidster, Don McIver, and Nancy Patrice Davenport.
