John Dewey's new biography — the first in English, and one of the most comprehensive to date in any language — has now been published by Brimstone Press. Providing a long overdue introduction to this major figure, it tells the story of a fascinating life and personality as reflected in the poems, presented here in the author's own verse translations.
