Poetry by Anne Waldman
September 1, 1989 • 6 x 9 • 240 pages • 978-0-918273-50-5
With passion, wit and inventiveness, Helping the Dreamer continues Anne Waldman’s commitments to the major themes of our day: nuclear war, the environment, and the sexual tension that can bring richness as well as confusion to human relationships. In recent years this poet has been experimenting with new ways to present poetry in performance—this book explodes with the energy Waldman brings to the stage, capturing the free-flowing spirit, accuracy, and range of subjects her writing encompasses.
