The wraps are in good condition (two stickers affixed to front cover, tiny red mark at bottom, back cover has discolored area where another sticker must have been affixed). 9 x 6, 75 pages, 5 ounces XX. The poems in this book were written during the years 1976 - 1980. [From the back cover] Anne Waldman has developed an international reputation as a reader and performer, covering the United States from coast to coast as well as the nations of Europe with her scintillating poetic presence. She has performed her work on radio stations in New York and London, been interviewed on Italian radio, appeared on television, and recently cut a single ("Uh-Oh Plutonium"— a bold indictment against the radioactive future). Ms. Waldman has been responsible for arranging hundreds of poetry readings as director from 1968 to 1978 of the Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church In-The-Bowery. Since 1974, she has co-directed the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Prior to this collection, six books & numerous chapbooks of her poetry have been published. Among them: Fast Speaking Woman (City Lights), Journals €5 Dreams (Stonehill), Sun the Blond Out (Arif), Countries (Toothpaste), Cabin (Z Press), and First Baby Poems (Rocky Ledge). Her work has been anthologized both here and abroad and has been translated into eight languages. ' 'Anne Waldman is a poet orator, her body is an instrument for vocalization, her voice a trembling flame rising out of a strong body, her texts the accurate energetic fine notations of words with spoken music latent in mindful arrangement on the page. She is a Power, an Executive of Vast poetry projects and mind schools in America, a rhythmic pioneer on the road of loud sound that came from Homer Sappho and leads to future epic space mouth, she's a cultivated Buddhist meditator, an international subtle Tantrika, an activist of tender brain vibrations." - Allen Ginsberg.…
