Forlagsbeskrivelse af A World of Glyphs af Ed Sanders

The ancient Egyptians believed that the hieroglyphs on their religious walls and on their papyri were alive! Ed Sanders, Beatnik-poet, American bard, rock musician, political activist and co-founder of the legendary rock band the Fugs was so fascinated by the world of hieroglyphs, that he took a course in Egyptian at the New School in New York City in the fall of 1961. Since then Glyphs have been an important part of his creative life. Every day Ed Sanders drew hieroglyphic doodles and images, and slowly they grew to many hundreds, even thousands of Glyphs, contained in his archive. People who know him have seen how, to this day, he makes his glyphic drawings on any surface at hand— envelope, note pad, wall, leaflet or any expanse at all. A good number of his poems, and even his short stories, contain Glyphs. In this book we proudly present a selection of Ed Sanders’ works with Glyphs from recent years: A highly entertaining collection of witty commentary, timeless lyricism and good advice for these times, expanding our knowledge of existence itself. Sanders also comments on the terrifying constriction of our basic rules of civilized behaviour in a modern world of digital slavery, war monsters and trumpsters. With this little book we can offer relaxation, insight, comfort and lots of good laughs! In Ed Sanders’ own words: Keep on Glyphing! Sprog: Engelsk. Kunstbog i farver! 160 sider.
