Did you ever wonder who your favorite poet would be if she weren’t a poet? A rock star maybe? Here’s Anne Waldman (part Debra Harry and part Madonna) in a music video from 1982! I first heard about this on my favorite podcast Breaking Form (hosted by James Allen Hall and Aaron Smith) and now I’m hooked.

And who can resist Anne Sexton performing (in the 1960s) the song “Woman with Girdle” with her band Her Kind? If only there were music videos back then!

And here, Anne says in this wild impromptu video: Better than a poem! Music beats us!
