Jim Cohn‘s remarkable Napalm Health Spa we’ve featured on The Allen Ginsberg Project before (see, for example, here and here). Time to feature it once again, as the current issue has just appeared – a stunning, comprehensive (70th birthday) tribute to Anne Waldman
Anne’s birthday was this past April (April 2nd) – See The Allen Ginsberg Project’s salute to her here (and a shout-out here, here, here, and here for earlier birthday celebrations)
The 70th birthday festschrift (edited by Jim Cohn, Eleni Sikleanos and Lisa Birman) features plenty more video (choice performances by Anne), as well as interviews (with Jim Cohn, Randy Roark and Marcella Durand); pages from her collaborative work, (Cry Stall Gaze with Pat Steir), Zhang Ziqing (& Ron Padgett!) on Anne in China, and poems/memoirs/praise from a host of family and friends, including, Andy Clausen, Eliot Katz, Steven Taylor, Reed Bye, David Cope, Eileen Myles, Lewis Warsh, Bill Berkson, Joanne Kyger, Leslea Newman, Chris Tysh, Maureen Owen, Stacy Szymaszek, Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Nina Zivancevic, & many others
