Far Out: Poems of the '60s includes poems by over 80 poets who
remember that tumultuous decade from a wide range of vantage
points. This collection brings to life the experiences of people
who vividly remember the effects of the assassinations of Medgar
Evars, JFK, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, who lived through
the period of the Vietnam War and the protests against it, and who
experienced the rise of Second-Wave Feminism, the Civil Rights Act
and the emergence of the Black Power Movement, as well as the
Apollo 11 moon landing. For anyone who thinks the 1960s were only
about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, this book will be an
eye-opener, although those subjects are also amply covered within
these pages!
