Peter Conners has published eleven books of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry,
and edited dozens of volumes of poetry and prose. His nonfiction books –
Cornell ’77; Growing Up Dead, JAMerica, and White Hand
Society — have garnered him a reputation as a leading chronicler of
the Grateful Dead, jam band, and countercultural community. Spring 2022 marks
the publication of Conners’s debut novel, Merch Table Blues, and his
first prose poetry collection in a decade, Beyond the Edge of Suffering.
His other books include the prose poetry collections Of Whiskey and
Winter; The Crows Were Laughing in their Trees; and the novella, Emily
Ate the Wind. He is also editor of PP/FF: An Anthology and the
Executive Director and Publisher of the award-winning independent publishing
house BOA Editions, Ltd [www.boaeditions.org]. Conners’s books have
received reviews in such places as Rolling Stone Magazine; Library Journal;
Penthouse; Publishers Weekly; Vice; Kirkus; The Onion; and The New
York Post. The San Francisco Chronicle noted that “Conners writes
like a poet and researches like a scholar,” and NPR Books likened his
writing to “…the way music sounds when your surrender has no
limit.”
