Anne Waldman
reading and booksigning for "Structure of the World Compared to a
Bubble"
Tuesday, November 16th at 7 pm
at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
The Stupa of Borobudur in Java is one of the architectural wonders of
the world, designed as both a mandala and as an aid for the Buddhist
pilgrim that can be read as a holy book. It inspired Anne Waldman to
create "Structure of the World Compared to a Bubble" - a poetic work
that is part walking meditation, part cultural intervention, part
recovery of a sacred site, and a take on contemporary reality and how
the busy "monkey mind" works and travels.
Anne Waldman is a widely acclaimed poet, editor, performer, teacher,
and activist. She is the author of more than thirty books including,
most recently, "In the Room of Never Grieve: New and Selected Poems."
She is the co-founder with Allen Ginsberg of the Jack Kerouac School
of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute.
