Poetry. "Hannah Weiner is the only clairvoyant I know, or that I've ever known. Her achievement—it is a considerable one—lies in her having developed a specific literary form through which to convey her remarkable experience."—Jackson Mac Low
Author City: NEW YORK, NY USA
Hannah Weiner's influence extends from the sixties New York avant-garde, where she was part of an unprecedented confluence of poets, performance and visual artists including Phillip Glass, Andy Warhol, Carolee Schneeman, John Perrault, David Antin, and Bernadette Mayer. Like fellow-traveler Jackson Mac Low, she became an important part of the Language movement of the 70s and 80s, and her influence can be seen today in the so-called "New Narrative" work stemming from the San Francisco Bay Area.
