Legendary poet Anne Waldman performing her electrifying poem “Fast Speaking Woman” (published San Francisco, CA: City Lights Press, 1975). This is our third in a series of clips from a historic poetry reading hosted by the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University in 1975. Waldman was a co-founder of the Jack Kerouac School along with Allen Ginsberg. They both performed at the reading, as did Trungpa Rinpoche: a showcase of three ground-breaking poets who profoundly influenced each other’s work. The full 1975 reading is a gem of the Chögyam Trungpa Digital Library’s Naropa Collection, and we are thrilled to re-release the video along with verbatim transcript and introductory article in celebration of Naropa’s 50th Anniversary. Link in our bio! From the article by Leandra Ziegler: “Anne Waldman was and is a luminary poet in the Outrider experimental poetry movement, coming from the lineages of Beat, New York School, and Black Mountain, and is known internationally for her powerful performances. She is currently still the Director of Naropa’s Summer Writing Program. Waldman, who was interviewed for the article, explains the unique environment that drew so many illustrious writers [to the Jack Kerouac School]: ‘It was founded with the Beat ethos of wild mind, spontaneity improv, and [hosted] Beat guests, but many of the guest writers also were familiar with, and trained in other wings of the New American Poetry, which included Black Mountain College, New York School (Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery), San Francisco Renaissance, and the Black Arts [Movement].” *This excerpt is shared by permission. #chogyamtrungpa #annewaldman #allenginsberg #dharmaart #meditation #poetry #newyorkschool #blackmountainschool #jackkerouacschool #naropa
Andrew Whiteman (Broken Social Scene) is here to talk about the new release from Siren Recordings, Your Devotee in Rags, featuring the iconic poet and performer Anne Waldman. Want a copy of the album to review? DM us. Anne Waldman (The Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism of Concealment) and Andrew Whiteman (Broken Social Scene) have collaborated to create Your Devotee in Rags—a metamorphic sonic poetry LP set to be released by Siren Recordings on February 28, 2024. Your Devotee in Rags is a missive to this age of patriarchal power, its songs and poems are designed to specifically confront that power and hold it to account. Taking such activist inspiration from musicians like Lido Pimienta and Tanya Tagaaq, musically YDIR blends acoustic and electronic genres, waltzes, laments, and Pauls Boutique-era Beastie Boys mash-ups all with the intent of creating a new artistic headspace: sonic poetry. The cultural direction is forward, the earbuds open up the stereo field, listening to YDIR is, in a word, empowering. More about Your Devotee in Rags: Your Devotee in Rags is a sonic poetry collaboration between Anne Waldman and Andrew Whiteman; an act of desire and metamorphosis expanding the performative vision of being at the horizon of new experience, stripped down, exploring the turf, through poetry and spiritual yearning. More about Anne Waldman: Anne Waldman is a living legend. Poet, performer, professor, editor, cultural activist, grandmother, and co-founder with Allen Ginsberg of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. Former director of the Poetry Project. Tireless author of over 40 books, her trademark energy coils ever outward, always seeking to reveal the four-fold vision that we have largely lost. More about Andrew Whiteman: Andrew Whiteman is a musician and mythopoetics scholar from Montreal, Canada. He writes and performs in Broken Social Scene, Apostle of Hustle, AroarA, and Poets’ Workout Sound System. He is a co-founder of Siren Recordings. #poet #poetry #brokensocialscene #canadianart #annewaldman #sonic #sonicpoetry #beastieboys #music #poetrylover #smashthepatriarchy #performer #canadianartist #poetrygram #spokenword
