Book Description from Back Cover

In this new, expanded edition of Danger and Beauty, which collects writings from 1968 through 2001, Hagedorn muses about love and sex; mysticism and drugs; and probes with wry humor and sharp social satire the heart - and heartbreaks - of the immigrant experience.

Here in one volume are this exciting writer's first two books, Dangerous Music and Pet Food & Tropical Apparitions, along with a generous selection of her newest work that reveals a powerful and witty continuation of her journey as a singer and searcher, woman and questioner.
