Where Have All the Hippies Gone? by Sam Yulish, is like no other book you've read lately. It has that old exuberance and wealth of emotion that make it, if nothing else, a chronicle of wondering and journeying, of knowing and finding out. Each interview builds on the next the way the tie-dyed few built upon each other's singular experience until the handful were a nation. This book, rough and generous, is true to the sleeping spirit of the freak. In the words of the Jefferson Airplane: Feed Your Head. -Roy Bentley, published poet and author Where Have All the Hippies Gone? is by far the most enjoyable book about the hippies and their sixties adventures I have ever read. What fun! And great period drawings. The music trivia quiz is a real challenge. -Patricia Dennison, author and pharmacist In his unique work "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" retired math professor and published writer and poet Sam Yulish attempts to show how the hippies have changed since the late sixties and early seventies. In his fictional characters he has created memorable portraits of people who lived through it. Throughout "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" is a nostalgia for a past era that lasted for only 5 or 6 years. Despite its brevity, the era had a great effect on each character's life and is still prominent in day-to-day thinking. But far from being just a nostalgia look back at the sixties, "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" is a unique book that deals with ideas. Most of the book is devoted to interviews with past and present hippies. This is a brilliant format which gives access to the opinions and the attitudes of the characters. "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" is a fascinating, unique book. It is a page-turner that can be read in a couple of hours. It is fun, historical, and mind-bending. -David Bruce, Athens News

A Trip Back in Time
Revisit the past, when you read this book. Remember a time, not too far away, when it was "cool" to care about the world, and common to risk one's safety to express these views. Just where have all these people gone? Perhaps, Dr. Yulish will write a sequel and answer the question he has posed. Until then, read this book, and wander down an incense-scented path to this past we all share.
----Patricia Anne Dennison----author of STOP THE VOICES and THE SPELL OF SAINT CYRIL'S CEMETERY----
