Sangha News Interviews So Suzuki was starting his sitting group a couple of blocks away. There he was in the morning and he had hardly any English at all - sort of like pantomiming what to do. It was difficult to get up and one time I got there and it was a four or nine day when we didn't sit and he got up and tried to explain there was no sitting on these days. I brought him some roses. That was my first formal sitting besides Gary had a little zendo over in Marin - Marin-an I think he called it. Albert Saijo was living at the EWH too. There was a real focus on the Zen of enlightenment, koan, all that stuff that was going in the late fifties. Some kind of open door to whatever it was supposed to be - realization. We were reading all those silly books of DT Suzuki and here was a guy who really showed us how to sit. I think I went to Japan for four years. During this time Bill McNeil was there and he'd gone up to Shunryu Suzuki's home temple, Rinsoin, and had stayed up there. He'd been ordained as a priest whatever that meant. People didn't know. What does that mean? In Japan it means that you'd better take care of the real estate pretty good. He was way out by himself out there and so he left and came to Kyoto and started to sit with the Daitokuji group when the fallout was going on and he just gave it all up. His wife wasn't going to come over, he'd decided he was gay, he had an affair with a Japanese businessman, and he just dropped out of the whole Zen number. He'd say, I'm a homosexual and the way he'd talk about it, I'd say, that's not an identity. It has nothing to do with what your meditation practice is about. So anyway that was during the big fallout in 63.

C O N T E N T S H O M E P A G E Linda Russo "to be Jack Spicer in a dream" : Joanne Kyger and the San Francisco Renaissance, 1957-65 This piece is three thousand words or about seven printed pages long. A list of works cited appears at the end of this file. "They're not trying to make it with her," one of the group says. "They're faggots. She's a queen bee you know, a faggot's moll. I have a theory that all of San Francisco is a faggot's moll. They're only attracted to her because they want to be like her. " This description, transcribed poets' chatter overheard in The Place, partial fabrication or thoroughly imaginative creation from Joanne Kyger's autobiographical writings ("a dreadful portrait of myself"), provides an unabashed glimpse of the context in which her early poetry was written and received. Kyger was one of few women numbered among the poets of the San Francisco Renaissance who clustered around Jack Spicer and Robert Duncan. At the Sunday Meetings and in the little magazines J and Open Space she would bring to poetry "the self that wanted to articulate itself in the world, [as] a human self, with all attendant identity anxieties." Women writing in the fifties faced the dilemma that they were inarticulate, at once mysterious and profoundly revelatory, Muses who would inspire but were themselves incapable of writing 'real' poetry – she can't after all take

T he fact of my camera has by itself created occasions. Nice afternoons when someone calls to say hello. Surprises. It's an opener to people I don't know, know only by their work, will see only when they come through Cambridge/Boston. None of it or little of it would happen if my work didn't exist, if people didn't know it, like it, want to see some of it. The stopping by is random; there isn't any continuity or relationship involved. But it rounds out the edges, makes me feel active; in a way, enlarges the time. T he first and only time I met Joanne Kyger she came over with Peter Warshaw and Sidney Goldfarb. She and Peter had just come back from Puerto Rico, she read a long prose poem from her journal; Peter showed us the slides he had taken of monkeys.

C O N T E N T S H O M E P A G E J A C K E T # E L E V E N A P R I L 2 Dan Coffey "My phenomenology waits": Death and Rebirth in Joanne Kyger's «Phenomenological» J OANNE KYGER'S literary career is soon to come full-circle, with the imminent re-publication of the legendary «Japan & India Journals», which predates her first published collection of poems. When this happens, there is likely to be a reinvestigation of her "travel journal" publications, and this essay is my vote for «Phenomenological», published in 1989 by The Institute For Further Studies, as the most deserving of critical attention. Though a vote for «Phenomenological», the ballot form that the essay is being written on is an endpaper torn from another slim Kyger publication, «Patzcuaro »(Blue Millennium Press,1999), a collection of poems date-bracketed in typical Kyger journal style, written during the winter that straddled 1997 and 1998 when she and companion Donald Guravich were visiting Patzcuaro, a town in the Mexican State of Michoacan. In January of this year I met Kyger and Guravich in Patzcuaro while attending a writing workshop. Thus, this volume informs the following writing, if only in that strange personal sense of being in the mental space between an italicized title and the memory of a place. There are some similarities between these two "P" works, but a careful reading of «Phenomenological» will produce the aforementioned effect - the awareness of a seemingly mystical space that is part physical location and part literary construct.

37. Jacket 11 - Charlie Vermont Vertical Portrait Of Joanne Kyger Charlie Vermont Vertical Portrait of joanne kyger a poem and a letter. Dear LindaRusso, I hope you realize that I did not know joanne kyger terribly well. http://www.zip.com.au/~jtranter/jacket11/kyger-vermont.html

C O N T E N T S H O M E P A G E J A C K E T # E L E V E N A P R I L 2 Charlie Vermont "Vertical Portrait of Joanne Kyger" - a poem and a letter ed. note - I found "form/id/able" when I was scouring the little magazine collection at SUNY Buffalo's Poetry/Rare Books Room last year. It was published in the first issue of «Big Sky», edited in Bolinas by Bill Berkson from 1971-78. In «A Secret Location on the Lower East Side» Berkson writes: "When I arrived, the literary community in Bolinas numbered fewer than a dozen people, mainly poets like Joanne Kyger who had been associated with the Spicer and Duncan circles in San Francisco, plus a couple of prior interlopers from New York, Tom Clark and Lewis Warsh." I asked Robert Creeley who Charlie Vermont was, and he'd miraculously just received an email from him after being out of touch for some time; they'd been friends in Placitas, New Mexico. Thence my brief correspondence with Charlie Vermont, now an M.D. living in Arkansas, began. When I first encountered "form/id/able" it seemed to suit to the Joanne Kyger I was trying, archivally, to "find" (or, we might say, "produce"): impossible to surmount in that as much as I wanted I could not make her appear whole, and yet she was everywhere, publishing many of her own poems, appearing in others' poems, effecting the lives of many poets and many places. Her fracturedness, in part, derives critical attention that prefers to the cast shadows of Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg, Robert Duncan and Jack Spicer, and though not so intimately connected to Joanne, the large shadow-casting Charles Olson, whose presence and poetics causes a disturbance in trying to see any women of that generation with any clarity. Despite the encounter with this critical insistence to overlook Joanne Kyger, she

Two Poems from Joanne Kyger's "I Blinked My Eyes, Looked Up and "It's So" As Ever: Selected Poems Online Bookstore Listing Joanne Kyger: A native Californian, Joanne Kyger became part of the San Francisco poetry world in 1957 when she left Santa Barbara, where she had attended both high school and the University of California. After spending four years in Kyoto, she returned in 1964 to San Francisco, where her first book was published. Further travels took her to Europe and New York City before she settled on the coast north of San Francisco. She travels as much as possible to Mexico. (Photo by Chris Felver) About As Ever: Selected Poems Gary Snyder "A major collection by the legendary figure and muse whose exemplary writing reflects her discerning Buddhist sensibility." Anne Waldman Anselm Hollo "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. It is Kyger's peculiar sorcery to force the issue: a wave of her wand brings actuality into focus, shimmering in syllables newly familiar, momentous, and true." Bill Berkson "Joanne Kyger's great body of poetry continues to amaze... One of the most needed books in American poetry today."
