Anne Waldman Knihy

Sbírka Žena v řeči bystrá vyšla poprvé v roce 1975; ke dvacátému výročí ji vydalo nakladatelství City Lights Books v rozšířené podobě. Její český překlad víceméně zachovává tuto verzi. Samotná báseň Žena v řeči bystrá zachycuje fascinaci mexickou šamankou Marií Sabinou a zaříkávadly jakožto důležitým žánrem současné performativní poezie. Dále sbírka obsahuje zaklínadla, vzývání, žalozpěvy, rituální deklamace, básně-cestopisy a témata ovlivněná etnopoetikou, tibetským buddhismem, feminismem a performancí. Pradávná orální tradice, magie a extáze se střetává s novým pojetím síly mluveného slova. Esej "Já je někdo jiný." Rozptýlené struktury vysvětlují teoretická východiska, zdroje a inspirace Anne Waldman a dokreslují její vizi světa prožívaného skrz poezii.

In Bard, Kinetic, Anne Waldman assembles a layered compendium of essays, letters, poems, and interviews that form a panoramic portrait of her life and praxis as a groundbreaking poet.

She recalls founding the Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church and later the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University and discusses her political and artistic philosophy thatguides her activities as writer, activist, performer, instigator, and Buddhist practitioner. Throughout Bard, Kinetic Waldman pays homage to the friends and collaborators, many of whom are no longer with us, including Amiri Baraka, Lou Reed, John Ashberry, and Diane di Prima. Waldman's experiences serve as a guide for others committed to making the world a more conscious and conscientious place that soars with poetry.
