A fascinating new work from an internationally renowned poet
Acclaimed for her visionary, incantatory verse and her experimental
ethos, Anne Waldman's newest book-length poem is an allegory of a
radical spirit in lockdown, dominated by "Deciders" and "Imposters"
who threaten the future of poetry and its archive. A doppelganger
nightmare ensues: the imposter "Anne" is a succubus, and the
original Anne has to break free from a metaphorical castle of
torture and psychological domination. There are travels through
Vedic cosmology and ancient Japan before resolution on a treeless
tundra, where fragile life forms struggle to survive. Waldman's
oracular poem is a witty meditation on identity theft and a searing
plea for the primacy of imagination and for collective sanity in
our provocative yet precarious time.
