Bard, Kinetic
- An almost-autobiography from one of the artistic legends of our time!
- Anne intersected with some of the most famous artists of the 20th century. She accompanied Bob Dylan on the Rolling Thunder Revue, was arrested alongside Allen Ginsberg (who called her his “spiritual wife”), corresponded with William S. Burroughs, Ken Kesey, Diane di Prima, and currently lives next door to Patti Smith.
- In keeping with Anne’s interdisciplinary career, this is a hybrid work that includes essays, letters, poetry, autopoetics, interviews.
- Besides a record of Anne’s fascinating and historic life experiences, this book also offers unparalleled insight into her life philosophy, in which poetry, activism, Buddhism, and politics are interlinked.
