The Angel Hair Anthology 
“Angel Hair reaches us now from a moment in American history that
is still a part of our cultural & spiritual present. Under the care of
Anne Waldman & Lewis Warsh--young poets in what was, circa 1965,
the hot center of a “new” “American” “poetry”--their economically printed
& exuberantly disseminated magazine was a key vehicle for the innovative
& groundbreaking work of an entire generation of poets & artists. This
large & generous anthology is not only an archival masterpiece--the best
of a time that’s now gone though scarce forgotten--but an incitement to
keep their work alive for a still newer generation. Hurrahs & kudos to all
appearing here & to Granary Books for bravely bringing them forward.”
Jerome Rothenberg
