Walking Back from Woodstock [Paperback]

Earl S Braggs (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1997

Poetry. "Earl S. Braggs' WALKING BACK FROM WOODSTOCK links the psychodramatic public (that) America put itself through in the 1960's to our privacies, our childhoods, our love lives, the music we hummed as we muddled through. His book is jaunty, heartbroken, fast-talking, and true" -William Matthews.

5.0 out of 5 stars He Who Crosses Must Dance, and Braggs Does, April 12, 2000

This review is from: Walking Back from Woodstock (Paperback)

According to The Book of Hats, he who crosses must dance. Earl S. Braggs' pen can dance like a chick on acid at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, and it does throughout this book.
