The Bernsteins Perform Hannah Weiner

From St. Mark's Church (where else?)...part of the celebratory readings given on the occasion of the publication of Open House.

Hannah Weiner would doubtless be honored.

Hell, she was probably there.

The trio do a great job of interpreting the layered sensorium that was clairvoyant Hannah Weiner's perception through poetry, she who told us, "I SEE WORDS" and wrote down the words that materialized on the air (or on objects and people) around her, trying to create a system of notation that would capture the simultaneity of it all as she went.

Very Kabbalah!

I have a few early rare first editions of this poet's work.

I really liked the collection Spoke, which came out through the old Sun & Moon Press (now Green Integer).
