Joanne Kyger It is inner luxury, of golden figures that breathe like mountains do and whose skin is made dusky by the stars (from All This Every Day Joanne Kyger: Born, November 19, 1934 Joanne is a poet and philosopher who came to San Francisco just as "Howl" was on trial for obscenity. She'd come from Santa Barbara, and bedazzled the poetic renaissance with both her words and beauty. In 1957, she met John Weiners, Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, and others who were part of the local scene; they had "Sunday meetings" and discussed the current poetry going around. A part of this contingent meant sharing their own works (some were older mentorly poets, and others like Kyger were burgeoning). As is with many poetical groups, criticism was offered, and learning curves thus grew. Joanne had written "The Maze" (somewhat inspired by T.S. Eliot, who she'd read in high school). Duncan described her methodology meticulous with great pauses, long vowel phrasings, and with the inclusion of "base tone." These readings and peers throughout the late 1950s and beyond included others of the North Beach scene, some of whom don't get much mention in current beat anthologies, but who were very much part of the fabric, including Ebbe Borregaard, Harold Dull, Richard Duerden, Richard Brautigan, Ron Loewinsohn, Michael McClure, George Stanley, David Meltzer, Michael Rumaker, Larry Fagin, Stan Persky, and Kirby Doyle.

events new writing book reviews author biographies ... links Joanne Kyger , an active presence in the Bay Area poetry scene for forty years, has lived the life I've always dreamed of. She's the author of 14 books of poetry: she's seen it all, she's done it all, and she grows younger instead of older-my ideal! The friend of Olson, Spicer, Wieners, Berrigan, and so many more, Kyger has crafted a poetry of excitement and spiritual revelation which influences the younger generation of today. The range and energy of her writing seems to re-distribute the molecules of the air we breathe, and the social space we inhabit. Her most recent book is Some Sketches from the Life of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Boulder: Rodent Press, 1996). This summer she will be teaching at the Naropa Institute. May 2, 1997

Joanne Kyger also reads on March 10 , 7:30, with Don Guravich at Sweetie's, San Francisco, and on April 2 , 7:30, at University of San Francisco's Lone Mountain campus. Anselm Hollo will also read on April 26 in Tucson, Arizona, for POG at Dinnerware Gallery. These are two of the most majestic of America's outrider poets, in accomplishment, in reputation, in the wit, spark, daring of their work. Joanne Kyger has been a key figure in American poetry-Beat, Buddhist, quirky, and, above all, authentic-fashioning a writing that subverts, obviates, the 'literary' for four decades now. As Bill Berkson says of her, "If existence is just what happens, can poetry rise to the occasion? Joanne Kyger's poetry is of existence as it happens, moving within earshot, and close-up, under her sharply critical, wildly affectionate glance." Among her twenty or so published books are such titles as The Tapestry and the Web , prose, as in

A PIECE OF PI - Winter 1996-7 Letter from the President Susan K. Newbold, MS, RN, C While speaking with the father of an inductee at the Fall 1996 Induction Ceremony, I found myself explaining the type of activities in which our Chapter is involved. It occurred to me that perhaps the members of Pi Chapter need this information as well. Currently, the annual dues for active Pi Chapter membership is $50 per year. Out of that money $35 goes to our Sigma Theta Tau International headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is used to bring you the quarterly issues of Image: Journal of Nursing Scholarship, and the quarterly Reflections magazine. It is also used to support the administration of our central group who keeps track of our 1700+ members, sends renewal requests, etc. It is used for partial funding of our Regional Assemblies and Biennial Conference. The remaining $15 per year stays with the Pi Chapter. We actually do quite a lot with your dues, including: two newsletters per year subsidy of the Fall dinner program and Spring Research program chapter administration including sending out ballots for officer elections each year, our telephone line, accounting, etc.

C O N T E N T S H O M E P A G E E L E V E N Linda Russo Particularizing people's lives (an interview with Joanne Kyger) This piece is 6,500 words or about sixteen pages long. On February 27, 1999, a pleasantly wintry Saturday afternoon - several feet of snow on the ground, sky only partly gray - Joanne Kyger, Christopher W. Alexander and I sat down to tea in the kitchen of our Buffalo apartment. At the time I was editing her EPC Author Page and thinking about the problems one encounters in addressing women writers of her generation, in which poetic production was mainly accomplished by men. Joanne had emerged - "arrived" as she was told at the Sunday Meetings - early on, was (and is) a prolific and complex poet, yet has remained relatively unknown. She'd given a reading at SUNY Buffalo with Ben Friedlander the previous Wednesday, for which there'd been a reception; and at a Friday night party for the publication of my chapbook, o going out , she'd initiated two collaborative projects - on the manual salmon-pink Olympia typewriter, a poem, and on four large sheets of paper and with her own portable water color kit, a collage. I think she was as curious about what was going on in Buffalo as we were about her and she was generous and energetic in the spirit of the time she'd spent in our company. Linda Russo: I want back up a little bit, to something you'd mentioned earlier - that the so-called Beat Movement was more of a "newspaper phenomenon" than a "literary phenomenon."

C O N T E N T S H O M E P A G E E L E V E N Linda Russo Introduction: a context for reading Joanne Kyger Joanne "It is given to the seer to see, but it is then his responsibility to communicate what he sees, that they who cannot see may see, since we are 'members one of another'." I N THE WORK of Joanne Kyger the fact of presence plays out not in subjective seeing and saying - not as reportage, or confession - but as being and saying. The self is phenomenal and therefore as likely to be seen as to see; seeing the self is not an act of introspection only, but of an arraying. The self is among , always in relation, and in Joanne Kyger's case, in a "broad / sweeping form" of relations - in "being there." For over 40 years she has, in various and particular ways, engaged with her circumstances, a fact to which the essays collected in this feature attest. The results of her way of being and saying, though constantly brought into print with one or another of the small presses in the tradition of the New American Poetry, have escaped the critical eye - and in that Joanne Kyger is at once very similar to women writers of her generation, and very different from them. The form "of being there" that readers of the now-called "Beat Generation" encounter differs vastly from what it

from "Joanne Kyger" by Joanne Kyger (Originally published in Contemporary Authors Autobiography Series , Volume 16, pp. 187-203) The Howl obscenity trial is happening, spring 1957. I visit City Lights Bookstore and buy a copy an dfall in love with the writing, the tone, the truth. I read On the Road while a friend drives me in his car out of San Francisco up to the Russian River into the redwoods. I look out the window occasionally but I am too busy reading this wild adventure to notice much my first trip north. The Beat Generation, the San Francisco Renaissance, is dramatically in the air, most especially in North Beach, which I visit every night in my red Capezio slippers with silver buckles. I have them reheeled every two weeks. I drink devastating martinis and hear Kenneth Rexroth and Lawrence Ferlinghetti read oietrt with jazz at The Cellar. My friend Nemi Frost has moved up fom Santa Barbara. Nemi has lived i Mallorca and met Robert Creeley and the painter John Altoon, and tells me mad stories of her adventures there. I am starting to get a picture of a certain kind of world. A friend from The City of Paris, a young painter named Jerome Mallman, takes me to The Place, a famous writer and poets' bar run by Leo Kikorian, fromerly a student a Black Mountain College. Thi si where it's really happening. Champagne $4 a fifth and beer 25 cents a glass. Black Mountain College in North Carolina had closed the year before, which brought a group of young writers to form a group around Robert Duncan and Jack Spicer: John Wieners, Joe Dunn, Michael Rumaker, Ebbe Borregaard. And Paul Alexander and Tom Field, painters. Also George Stanley from San Francisco, Russell Fitzgerald from Pennsylvania, Harold and Dora Dull from the northwest, and DAvid Meltzer from Venice, California.
