Ed Sanders on the cover of LIFE

The cover of Ed Sanders's new memoir, Fug You, due out later this spring, repurposes the 1967 LIFE magazine cover that featured Ed as the poster child of the Counterculture.


The original image, which appeared February 17, 1967, bears the following title: "HAPPENINGS... The worldwide underground of the arts creates THE OTHER CULTURE." Beneath Ed's paint-spattered picture is the following caption: "Ed Sanders, a leader of New York's Other Culture."


Ed Sanders will visit the Writers Institute today, May 5, 2011. Note: The 8PM Reading will be in the Assembly Hall, Campus Center, NOT the Recital Hall as mistakenly listed in the press according to some reports.
