Soldatesque / Soldiering:
With Dreams of Wartime
Poetry by Anne Waldman
Art by Noah Saterstrom
Introduction by Bill Berkson
"The visual idiom unleashed in Noah Saterstrom's online Work-a-Day drawings - improvisational,
fragmentary, fluid - is perhaps related to the telling of dreams, and has found
marvelous fulfillment in the frieze panels of Soldatesque. One image flows seamlessly
into another as the oblique narrative unfolds within a shifting but oddly convincing
space. Painted with great intimacy, these images seem perfectly at one with Anne
Waldman's simultaneously explicit and enigmatic text."
-Timothy Hyman
"'Be a soldier to thy purpose.' (Shakespeare) With warrior-like stamina and unrelenting
bravura, Waldman offers a template for 'a different approach' leading to an aphoristic,
ecstatic truth. Here, this truth manifests visually in Saterstrom's tender, faded
images of war. We have seen them and not seen them, we have averted our eyes from
them, we have forgotten them...yet how they lurk in our memories and haunt us."
-Mónica de la Torre
"Here on the home front Anne and Noah's word-and-image frieze blossoms like an immensely
considerate device improvised for those Gentle Reader hands remaining."
-Bill Berkson
From Soldatesque / Soldiering: Soldiering is not that simple, take it from "she,"
a "she" who left once and was out in the middle of it.
Walking toward a small hamlet.
-Anne Waldman

Anne Waldman
Internationally recognized and acclaimed poet Anne Waldman has been an active member
of the "Outrider" experimental poetry community, a culture she has helped create
and nurture for over four decades, as writer, editor, teacher, performer, magpie
scholar, infrastructure curator and cultural/political activist. Her poetry is recognized
in the lineage of Whitman and Ginsberg, and in the Beat, New York School and Black
Mountain trajectories of the New American Poetry. Yet she remains a highly original
"open field investigator" of consciousness, committed to the possibilities of radical
shifts of language and states of mind to create new modal structures and montages
of attention. Her work is energetic, passionate, panoramic, fierce at times. She
is the author of more than 40 books, including the mini-classic Fast Speaking Woman,
a collection of essays entitled Vow to Poetry and several selected poems editions
including Helping the Dreamer, Kill or Cure and In the Room of Never Grieve. She
has concentrated on the long poem as a cultural intervention with such projects
as Marriage: A Sentence, Structure of The World Compared to a Bubble, Manatee/Humanity
which is a book-length rhizomic meditation on evolution and endangered species,
and the monumental anti-war feminist epic The Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism
of Concealment from Coffe House Press. She has recently published the text "Feminafesto"
with CHAX Press in Tucson. Waldman is a recipient of the Poetry Society of America's
Shelley Memorial Award and was appointed a Chancellor of The Academy of American
Poets in 2011. Waldman was one of the founders and directors of The Poetry Project
at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, working there for twelve years. She also co-founded
with Allen Ginsberg the celebrated Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at
Naropa University, the first Buddhist inspired University in the western hemisphere,
in 1974. Ginsberg has called Waldman his "spiritual wife". She is a Distinguished
Professor literary/ oral archive. She has edited and co-edited many collections
based on the holdings of the Kerouac School including Civil Disobediences and Beats
at Naropa. She is also the editor of Nice to See You, an homage to poet Ted Berrigan,
The Beat Book, and co-editor of The Angel Hair Anthology. Waldman works with the
anti-nuclear Guardianship Project in Boulder and was arrested in the 1970s with
Allen Ginsberg and activist Daniel Ellsberg at Rocky Flats, which led to a commitment
to the accountability for nuclear waste to future generations, a vow that according
to Waldman is "a nearly quarter of a million year project." She has also collaborated
extensively with a number of artists, musicians and dancers, including Joe Brainard,
George Schneeman, Elizabeth Murray, Richard Tuttle, Donna Dennis, Pat Steir, choreographer
Douglas Dunn, musician Steven Taylor and the theatre director Judith Malina. Her
play "Red Noir" was produced by the Living Theatre and ran for nearly three months
in New York City in 2010. She has also been working most recently with other media
including audio, film and video, with her husband, writer and video/film director
Ed Bowes, and with her son, musician and composer Ambrose Bye. Publishers Weekly
recently referred to Waldman as "a counter-cultural giant."

and during the next decade edited a series of little magazines and books under the
