A greatly expanded new edition of a career-spanning collection of writer and artist Hannah Weiner's work--including over one hundred pages of new material--on the nature of self, voice, consciousness, and the artist's role in making and rendering reality.
As an artist both steeped in and alienated from the New York avant-garde, Hannah Weiner was critical of the unexamined presumption of a singular, poetic voice. In her case, this critique of traditional poetic sensibility became explicit and literal as her writing life coincided with an emerging clairvoyance. From then on, Weiner's writing consisted as much of seeing words as it did of writing them. From her early work associated with New York School poetry to her more conceptual writing, as well as her best known work, Clairvoyant Journal, often read in tandem with Language Poetry and disability or outsider poetry, Hannah Weiner's Open House collects decades of performance notes, journals, code poems, and clair-style writing that will help readers finally come to terms with the breadth and genius of her legacy.
