Poetry. "[Kyger] is one of the finest practitioners of the art of poetry conceived (after Whitman and Williams, among others) as the preservation of experience in language. The scale of Kyger's poetry is human existence; spoken language provides its measure; the animating force is curiousity. Out of these materials she has accomplished something magnificent and beautiful. She has many peers but no betters" -- Ben Friedlander "She's one of our hidden treasures -- the poet who really links the Beats, the Spicer Circle, the Bolinas Poets, the New York School, and the Language poets, and the only poet who can be said to do all of the above" -- Ron Silliman.Kyger, Joanne is the author of 'Again Poems, 1989-2000' with ISBN 9781888809251 and ISBN 1888809256.
