which provided the basis for several of her books. Also included are significant unpublished materials in both notebook and

and 3) AUDIORECORDINGS.
Biography
Hannah Weiner was born on November 4, 1928, in Providence, Rhode Island, and graduated from Providence Classical High School
in June 1946. She attended Radcliffe College and graduated with a B.A., magna cum laude, in English Literature in 1950. After
a brief marriage, she took various jobs in New York City, and began writing poetry around 1963. Her first book,
The Magritte Poems, was published in 1966. In the late 60s, Weiner participated in several events within the visual arts scene in New York City.
Her most notable "poetry event" was the International Code of Signals. In the early 70s, she commenced her primary body of
written work, a series of experimental journals which were in part "clairvoyantly" dictated.
I See Words became both her manifesto and method of composition.
Weiner's
Clairvoyant Journal 1974 was published by Angel Hair Books in 1978, followed by
LittleBooks/Indians (Roof Books, 1980) and
Nijole's House (Potes and Poets, 1981). She became one of the most prominent individuals involved with the "language-centered" movement
of poets and experimental prose writers. Her work was featured in Ron Silliman's anthology,
In the American Tree, Douglas Messerli's
Language Poetries, and
The L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Book, edited by Charles Bernstein and Bruce Andrews. She was awarded a creative writing fellowship by the National Endowment for
the Arts in 1986. Other important collections of her poetry include
Spoke (Sun & Moon Press, 1984),
The Fast (United Artists Books, 1992),
Silent Teachers Remembered Sequel (Tender Button, 1994), and
We Speak Silent (Roof Books, 1996). Weiner's manuscript
Page, as well as selections from her
Clairvoyant Journal and
Little Books/Indians have been published posthumously by various presses.
Hannah Weiner died in September 1997 in New York City.
