America: A Prophecy

by Sparrow

America: A Prophecy Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Famous for creating a stir in 1995 when he picketed "The New Yorker" holding a placard reading, "My poetry is as bad as yours" (the magazine subsequently published some of his poems) renowned poet and comedian Sparrow also challenged Bob Dole for the presidential nomination in 1996 and, remarkably, lost. "America: A Prophecy" is his follow-up, a hilarious look at a country in flux. This long-awaited collection of essays by the author of "Yes, You ARE a Revolutionary!" and "Republican Like Me" takes on culture, politics, and religion. From a hilarious spiritual guide to New York City — written after Sparrow tried meditating at a dozen landmarks — to the scientific and religious significance of the sky, Sparrow's unique blend of wit and wisdom gives readers a whole new way of seeing our country at the crossroads.

Synopsis:

The long awaited reader from the Left's silliest and--and often most profound--soothsayer.
