(Poetry. "Anne Waldman glows even in the throes of morning...)
Poetry. "Anne Waldman glows even in the throes of morning sickness at the Buddhist chateau. The mind empties as the belly expands, but the mind doesn't clear without a detailed expression of what it is letting go of, and the body doesn't fill without a rich chronicle of sensation. She takes us all the way to term and then, the baby gets the pantoums. What a retreat she takes us on. What a euphonic spell of sleep-deprived wonder she casts"--C.D. Wright. "With her warm subtle fleshy FIRST BABY POEMS Waldman creates an infant power that did not exist before in her words. These poems are complex joyful bioalchemy"--Michael McClure.

(Poetry. TROUBAIRITZ is a journalistic love poem, a "book ...)
Poetry. TROUBAIRITZ is a journalistic love poem, a "book of hours," written over a span of 49 days, thus it captures the notion of the Tibetan Buddhist "bardo" with its shifting psychological states, "luminous" details and illusory figments of dream. Troubairitz is the female troubadour, the traveler and passionate songstress who dwells in the gap or bardo between death & desire. There is fire in the mouth of this poem.

“Kill Or Cure,” a bold prescriptive for these apocalyptic days, brings together substantial new work as well as the best of Anne Waldman's previously uncollected poetry. It includes credos, manifestos, dreams, homages to literary predecessors, “Shaman Hisses You Slide Back Into The Night” (the journal poem written during Bob Dylan's historic Rolling Thunder Revue), witty political diatribes, travel vignettes, incantations, and a new section of the ongoing epic poem “Iovis,” a powerful meditation on male energy.

"A syncopated web that includes the personal within the metaphysical and the environmental, tying the individual's story to the story of the survival of the planet . . . she can also be funny, brave, and care very deeply about all our futures."--Village Voice Literary Supplement

Finalist, Colorado Book Award for Poetry, 1994. "She's the fastest, wisest woman to run with the wolves in some time."--The New York Times Book Review "This is a poem of rare ambition, scope, and mastery...A considerable statement of the independence and equality of women."--The Bloomsbury Review
