Book cover for "Bard, Kinetic"
Description:
"In Bard, Kinetic, Anne Waldman assembles a layered compendium of essays, letters, poems, and interviews that form a portrait of her life and praxis as a groundbreaking poet. Waldman charts her journey through a maelstrom of radical artistic activity, from growing up in Greenwich Village to creative partnership with Allen Ginsberg and touring with Bob Dylan.

Book cover for "Old growth"
Description:
"Poetry. "Wonderful forays into the past, present, & future of the world's continents. One travels along with this poet's skilled eye and conscientious mind.

Waldman summons Tarot's Force Arcana, the Bible's Miriam, the passion of the suffragettes, and various messengers and heroines...
Book cover for "Voice's daughter of a heart yet to be born"
Description:
"Praise for Anne Waldman. Waldman brings her wild, oracular voice to the environmental questions that currently bedevil us." We got to Mars. We circle asteroids with a strange anticipation. We go interstellar. We like the sound of wormhole. Its magic. Thel without footprint, without trace, desiccated, desolate, nothing around, nugatory. Thel who talks with worm. Thel a figment in the mind of becoming-in-life, of potential, of not-becoming-yet in-mind,...
