Description: Gathers essays, poems and rants, an interview with the author by Matthew Cooperman, and an interview by her with Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal in an attempt to further articulate a sense of the 'outrider' tradition. This book looks at what poetry can be. It examines the practice of poetry and the links of its history.
Synopsis: Anne Waldman has been speaking about the 'outrider' tradition since 1974 when she and Allen Ginsberg founded the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa, a Buddhist-inspired university in Boulder, Colorado. This book gathers essays, poems and rants, an interview with her by Matthew Cooperman, and an interview by her with Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal in an attempt to further articulate a sense of this tradition from Walt Whitman to the present. Not a dry presentation, this book is a fierce and loving look at what poetry can be. "Outrider" is an invocation of 'lineage' as a challenge toward examining the practice of poetry and the links of its history. This awareness of lineage encompasses both what has been inherited and what needs be passed on. Waldman's "Outrider" will be a provocative contribution to a post-millennium poetics.
