The New Amazing Grace

- A Book of Memories 1992-2004

Bag om The New Amazing Grace

THE NEW AMAZING GRACE is a fascinating blend of cultural canon, deeply personal memoir, and a log of 13 tumultuous years in the already eventful life of author, musician, and private person Ed Sanders. In this candid logbook, we follow Ed Sanders at work, on trips - but also at home in the mountainside semi-rural in Woodstock among tame deer and wild bears, where he has lived with his wife the painter and writer Miriam Sanders for over 40 years, and where they raised their daughter Deirdre. His productivity in this period from 1992-2004 is almost terrifying. Large projects such as the musical play Cassandra and the first three volumes of the masterpiece America, A History in Verse are completed. Ed Sanders also finds time for the large-scale project The New Amazing Grace, where he creates a musical marathon of new verses to the beloved classic in cooperation with a large number of colleagues from Allen Ginsberg to Pete Seeger. However, this book is not just about Ed Sanders’ own activities, big and small, from local politics to newspaper publishing and project administration. It is equally a highly personal and entertaining portrait of the times - and the exciting people he met. The book is Illustrated throughout with archival photos and Sander’s own charming drawings - often inspired by the Egyptian glyphs. As a bonus, this book is also full of Sanders’ poems and small essays. Enjoy this collection of entertaining and clever statements from one of Americas profilic writers. In English. Illustrated in Colour.

Beskrivelse af The New Amazing Grace

THE NEW AMAZING GRACE is a fascinating blend of cultural canon, deeply
personal memoir, and a log of 13 tumultuous years in the already eventful life of
author, musician, and private person Ed
Sanders.
In this candid logbook, we follow Ed
Sanders at work, on trips - but also at
home in the mountainside semi-rural in
Woodstock among tame deer and wild
bears, where he has lived with his wife
the painter and writer Miriam Sanders
for over 40 years, and where they raised
their daughter Deirdre.
His productivity in this period from 1992-2004 is almost terrifying. Large
projects such as the musical play Cassandra and the first three volumes of the
masterpiece America, A History in Verse are completed.
Ed Sanders also finds time for the large-scale project The New Amazing Grace,
where he creates a musical marathon of new verses to the beloved classic in cooperation with a large number of colleagues from Allen Ginsberg to Pete Seeger.
However, this book is not just about Ed Sanders’ own activities, big and small,
from local politics to newspaper publishing and project administration. It is
equally a highly personal and entertaining portrait of the times - and the exciting people he met.
The book is Illustrated throughout with archival photos and Sander’s own
charming drawings - often inspired by the Egyptian glyphs. As a bonus, this
book is also full of Sanders’ poems and small essays.
