Welcome to the third episode of Season Four of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. This season, we're listening to the lectures of Cedar Sigo. Cedar Sigo's lectures plumb the particulars of influence, history, tone, and form to beget a singular ‘autobiography of voice.' Across these talks, Sigo explores his childhood on the Suquamish Reservation, his coming to poetry and the ‘dream of composition.' He pays homage to a glittering constellation of postmodernist and revolutionary teachers, artists, and peers, and builds enduring and pointed questions of agency, interdependence, lineage, and transformation. Today's we'll hear "Not Free From the Memory of Others: A Lecture on Joanne Elizabeth Kyger." This talk was originally given at Poets House on November 8, 2017. Click here to read "The Wind at Night," an essay by Sigo on the BWLS blog.

Cedar Sigo's book based on his BWLS lectures, _Guard The Mysteries_ (Wave Books, 2021) is forthcoming in June, and is available for preorder here.

Joanne Kyger On Time: Poems 2005-2014 ~Co-presented with Point Reyes Books~ There is no poet with more whimsically tough a mind… She’s the best of the west. —Robert Creely No other poet of my generation has been able to make the pleasures and particulars of the ‘everyday’ as luminous and essential and central. —David Meltzer A longtime Bolinas resident, Kyger will read from her work and be in discussion with her longtime friend and admirer, Steve Heilig of The New School. Copies of her brand new book On Time: Poems 2005-2014 (City Lights Publishers) will be available for purchase and signing. Joanne Kyger One of the major poets of the SF Renaissance, Joanne was born in 1934 in Vallejo, CA. After studying at UC Santa Barbara, she moved to San Francisco in 1957, where she became a member of the circle of poets around Jack Spicer and Robert Duncan. In 1960, she and then-husband Gary Snyder traveled in Japan and India where, along with Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky, they met the Dalai Lama. She returned to California in 1964 and published her first book, The Tapestry and the Web, in 1965. In 1969, she settled in Bolinas, where she continues to reside today. She has published more than 30 books of poetry and prose, including Strange Big Moon, The Japan and India Journals: 1960-1964 (2000), As Ever: Selected Poems (2002), and About Now: Collected Poems (2007), which won the 2008 Josephine Miles Award from PEN Oakland.

Although mostly focused on experiences in film production, the central ideas of this funny conversation apply to life as a whole.
