Anne Waldman was part of the late Sixties poetry scene in the East Village. She ran the St. Mark's Church Poetry Project, and gave exuberant, highly physical readings of her own work.

She became a Buddhist, worshipping with the Tibetan Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who would also become Allen Ginsberg's guru. She and Ginsberg worked together to create a poetry school, the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, at Trungpa's Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Anne Waldman is one of the most interesting, vibrant and unpredictable members of the post-Beat poetry community. Her confluence of Buddhist concerns and thought-paths with sources of physicality and anger is particularly impressive (did you get all that?).

She was featured in Bob Dyla ...more

Quotes by Anne Waldman (?)

“I've multiplied, I'm 2.
He was part of me
he came out of me,
he took a part of me
He took me apart.
I'm 2, he's my art,
no, he's separate.
He art one. I'm not
done & I'm still one.
I sing of my son. I've
multiplied. My heart's
in 2, half to him & half
to you,
who are also a part
of him, & you & he
& I make trio of
kind congruity.”

“You are where you are, you don't have to judge it, although some of the old poems might be more interesting than some I might write tomorrow.”

“what methods of political
thought can poetry
uniquely perform? //
we use to be able to outdo the future
we were never stuck in the past
we always wanted a mystery of narration
not just in a line when you edit
we laughed harder at mistakes & puns
and we always wanted each other, saw you there
saw me here, stole you from there
because we used to be there
and now here, your lines
used to be able to outdo the future”
― Anne Waldman, Trickster Feminism
