Though each piece stands on its own, collectively the 72 glyphs convey, with characteristic humility and humor, many of the themes explored by Sanders over his long and diverse career, including history, myth, activism and pacifism. The glyph--\"a drawing that is charged with literary, emotional, historical or mythic and poetic intensity\"--has been a dimension of Sanders' poetry since 1962; he cites Zen rock gardens, the markings on Egyptian tombs and the typographic designs in John Cage's writings as influences in the development of the form. Sanders' name for the original notebook is \"Smile-Book of Grace-Joy,\" which aptly describes the range of concerns explored in this important and joyful work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Sanders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1887123814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781887123815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Granary Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.90h x 4.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Edward Sanders","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000497119487,"sku":"9781887123815","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-book-of-glyphs-edward-sanders-9781887123815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
