Hannah Weiner.

I just discovered an awesome archive of one of my favorite female poets, the seldom-mentioned Hannah Weiner. HERE. Hard to find this stuff in book form.

I especially recommend the Clairvoyant Journals. Basically Hannah going crazy in paginated form. She had hallucinations of words floating around on peoples faces and on buildings, etc. She called it clairvoyance, I think the doctors called it schizophrenia, but really it's just poetry.

  1. Winn, do you have Hannah Winer's Open House? If not, I can lend it to you. Collects much of her work. I'll bring it in and you all can share it around as "extra reading" since there wasn't space for it on the syllabus.
