Phil Ochs is known primarily as a songwriter; however, his oeuvre
extends far beyond that-to short stories, poetry, criticism,
journalism, and satire, all of which are included in I'm Gonna Say
It Now: The Writings of Phil Ochs, which represents the majority of
what Ochs wrote outside of his large circle of songs. This
comprehensive tome presents another side of the famous topical
songwriter, showcasing his prose and poetry from across the full
span of his life. From prizewinning stories and clear-eyed
reporting while a journalism major in college to music criticism,
satires, and political pieces written while part of the burgeoning
folk scene of New York City in the early 1960s and during the
tumultuous Vietnam War era; from sharp and lyrical poems (many
previously unpublished) to reviews, features, and satires written
while living in Los Angeles and the final, elegiac coda writings
from near the end of his life-I'm Gonna Say It Now presents the
complete picture. The book includes many rare or nearly impossible
to find Ochs pieces, as well as previously unpublished works
sourced from the unique holdings in the Ochs Archives at the Woody
Guthrie Center. Additionally, never-before-seen reproductions from
Ochs's journals, notebooks, and manuscripts provide a closer look
at the hand of the artist, giving a deeper context and
understanding to his writings. Never before published photographs
of Ochs bestow the visual cherry on top.
