About This Item
"Awake in a giant night/is where I am".
Anne Waldman's first book, written when she lived on St. Mark's Place in the East Village, and was Assistant Director of the Poetry Project at St. Mark's. Signed by the author on the cover. The black and red cover illustration by George Schneeman references New York City windows and prickly holly: "This season's cruelty hurts me/and others, I'm sure, who'd rather be elsewhere but can't".
A bittersweet poem of rumination about the winter season and holidays in the city.
