In Bard, Kinetic, Anne Waldman assembles a multifaceted portrait of her life & praxis as a groundbreaking poet. Waldman charts her journey through a maelstrom of radical artistic activity: growing up in Greenwich Village, creative partnership with Allen Ginsberg, touring with Bob Dylan, & founding the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church & later, the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University. She discusses the philosophies that guide her as a writer, activist, performer, instigator, & Buddhist practitioner, & pays homage to friends & collaborators including Amiri Baraka, Lou Reed, John Ashbery, Kathy Acker, & Diane di Prima. Waldman’s experiences serve as a guide for others committed to making the world a conscious & conscientious place that soars with the discourse & activism of poetry & poethics.
