From sharp and lyrical poems (many previously unpublished) to reviews, features, and satires written while living in Los Angeles and the final, elegiac coda writings from near the end of his life, \u003cem\u003eI'm Gonna Say It Now\u003c\/em\u003e presents the complete picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes many rare or nearly impossible to find Ochs pieces, as well as previously unpublished works sourced from the unique holdings in the Ochs Archives at the Woody Guthrie Center.
