  EYEWITNESS GLIMPSE with ANNE WALDMAN at The Jack Kerouac Festival Lowell, Massachusetts October 1997
Anne: I talked to him on the phone in the early sixties; it was before the Poetry Conference of '65.
Anne: Yes, and then I went back to New York, where I was from, and started working at the St. Mark's Poetry Project the next year--and worked there almost twelve years, until 1978.
Anne: Well, there had been open readings, and in '66, we got a grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity under Lyndon Johnson, to work with alienated youth on the Lower East Side, and it was being administrated through the New School.

 Jacket 27 - April 2005 - Laura Bardwell: Anne Waldman’s Buddhist “Both Both”
Waldman examines the view of yab yum or “both both” by looking at the polar representation of female and male energy separately and through paradox — the image of the hermaphrodite and the image of the twin.
Waldman is simply drawing attention to the fact that just because she is writing out of a female body, it is still a body inspired by male energy as well as female energy: a witnessing body inspired to act.
Waldman’s phrase “both both” draws attention to duality or the idea that two things are at the same time existing, but defeats the ideas of an either/ or and hierarchy, which are so ingrained in binary cultures.

 Jacket 27 - April 2005 - Rachel Blau DuPlessis: Anne Waldman: Standing Corporeally in One’s Time
Waldman, like Alice Notley and other women loosely in the avant-garde and not in the women’s poetry movement (as it centered its canon of interests in the mid-70s through mid-late 80s), was very resistant to any victimization theorizing and against any sense that women have little or no agency.
Waldman asks what possibilities they model, and whether (using John Waldman, her own father, here), a woman in the “daughter” position finds it is plausible, easy, reasonable, or forbidden to “inherit” from these men.
Waldman, inside her choices, justifies the looseness and assimilative flair of the work with a “Beat Buddhist” (and incidentally Olsonic) aesthetic enunciated (Notley, “Iovis,” 128-29) as an “energy pulse” — form is activity, form is energy.

Waldman dates her metamorphosis into a committed writer to the Berkeley Poetry Conference, circa 1965, where Charles Olson rhapsodized on the poet-mind.
Rhizome, an underground stem bearing roots and flowers, and a postructuralist metaphor for nomadic traits, is a trope that Waldman exploits to describe hybrid, cross-genre poetics and intuitive constellations: Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, Vaclav Havel and the Dalai Lama interfacing on a tour she documents with great love and humor.

The author of over 30 volumes of poetry, editor of many magazines and several anthologies, and professor/director at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder, Waldman is at the apex of her career, and the legitimate heir to Allen Ginsberg's crown as America's underground "poet-ambassador" laureate.

 Jacket 27 - April 2005 - Lorenzo Thomas: Anne Waldman: Finding Poetry's Public Voice
Anne Waldman is the vessel of a different voice — a poet who works her way into Art as a way of finding a public voice.
Waldman has seen herself as participating in what she terms “a hybrid outsider tradition” influenced by the New York School, the San Francisco Renaissance of the early 1950s, Charles Olson’s Black Mountain College aesthetic, Jerome Rothenberg’s explorations of ethnopoetics, and a number of other approaches that brought her “magnificent epiphanies” (Knight 288).
Waldman does, however, present us with a model of how one may — to utilize a broader sense of the terms raised by Archibald MacLeish and others — achieve a poetry of consequence and compassion, of worthy and necessary witness.

 Jacket # 7 - Libbie Rifkin - Anne Waldman, Bernadette Mayer and the Gender of an Avant-Garde Institution
They were both powerful players in that first decade: Waldman was Director for the better part of it, and Mayer ran a workshop at the Project in the early 70s which has been considered critical to the development of innovative poetry since.
However much The World, and Waldman's own poetry from that period, may have reflected a kind of "house aesthetic" - call it, "friendly recycling" - the Poetry Project was not a monolith, and I'd argue that its major difference from certain "New American" institutions is that it didn't strive to be one.
Waldman borrowed the chant form of the poem from a 1956 recording of a Mazatec Indian shamaness named Maria Sabina.

Codrescu’s poem, “Who’s Afraid of Anne Waldman?” offered a historical perspective of his memories of Waldman, her involvement with the St. Mark’s Poetry Project in New York City, her activist career and the “counterculture,” her involvement with the Naropa University community, her many friends, and an overall tribute to her and her poetry.

 rhubarb is susan: Anne Waldman : Home In On
In the face of what both Waldman and I seem to think of as a moral outrage, the promotion of torture by the US government, this poem never dares to lay a naked moral claim on the reader.
I don't mean to dismiss Waldman's concerns, which, again, are my own in many ways, but I do want to ask: why write this as a poem, and not a letter to the editor, or a letter to a friend, or speak it in a conversation to a neighbour?
But they have an obligation to their audience, at least, to go beyond it, to open up avenues of experience, both aesthetic and moral, that can not be considered to arise from that chair.
