She went on to publish more than a dozen books of poetry while roaming the world on spiritual quests that included treks in the Himalayas and two years as a hermit on the Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. “Tracking the Serpent,” a kind of feminist “On the Road,” chronicled her visits in the 1980s to matriarchal power sites in the Amazon, Nepal, France and Britain.  … Black Sparrow Press published her most recent poetry collections, “Mad Dogs of Trieste” (2000) and “The Green Piano” (2005). • #janinepommeyvega #citylightsbooks #andyclaussen #trackingtheserpent #beatgeneration #womenofthebeatgeneration #womenwriters #girlpower #citylightsbooks #blacksparrowpress (at Woodstock, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_WQM8hVIP/?igshid=1qtuui642orwb

Today we came across two books by the late and great Sam Shepard, who passed away almost a year ago on July 27. The first, Hawk Moon, is a collection of short stories, poems, and monologues. This was Shepard’s first book, published  in 1973 by Black Sparrow Press. The second, is Shepard’s play, La Turista, first performed in New York City in 1967.
