More than half a century after his death, Woody Guthrie is still remembered as the quintessential folk singer, a free-spirited icon of the Left. Through the influence of his second wife, dancer Marjorie Mazia, Guthrie discovered the importance of intimacy in his personal and political life. Featuring an insert with personal photos of Guthrie's family and previously unknown paintings, this biography is a fresh and contemporary analysis of the overlapping influences of sexuality, politics, and disability on the art and mind of an American legend.
