Alystyre Julian (born Chapel Hill, North Carolina)[1] is an American writer, filmmaker, and photographer. She is the director of Outrider, a feature-length documentary on the life and legacy of American poet Anne Waldman, currently in post-production.[2]
Outrider
Julian first met Waldman in a workshop at The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church in the early nineties, followed by a second meeting in 1995 at Naropa University Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics Summer Writing Program, co-founded by Waldman and Allen Ginsberg, while Julian was studying with American Language poet Lyn Hejinian.[3]
In 2012, Julian began what would become a decade-long archival project on Waldman, filming countless readings, performances, poet gatherings, collaborations, interviews, and moments at home with Waldman. Julian also interviewed myriad artists, musicians, writers, activists, students, friends, and family of Waldman, on their personal and creative relationships to Waldman and the impact of the poetry communities she has created, in particular, at The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church, around her childhood home in Greenwich Village, and at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado.
The documentary features interviews with Omar Berrada, Ed Bowes, Vincent Broqua, Ambrose Bye, Anthony Roth Costanzo, John Giorno, Emma Gomis[4], Eileen Myles, No Land, Cedar Sigo, Eleni Sikelianos, Edwin Torres, Cecilia Vicuña, Devin Waldman, Ronaldo V. Wilson[5], and performances by Laurie Anderson, Ted Berrigan, Daniel Carter, Douglas Dunn, Randa Haines, Erica Hunt, James Brandon Lewis, Bernadette Mayer, Thurston Moore, Meredith Monk, Alice Notley, M. NourbeSe Philip, Patti Smith, Pat Steir, Lewis Warsh, and others, as well as archival footage of Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, Diane di Prima, María Sabina, and others.[3]
The film takes its name from Outrider[6], a collection of essays, interviews, poems, and rants by Waldman published in 2006 by La Alameda Press. The book expands on Waldman's "Outrider" lineage of experimental poets,[7] a term coined in 1974 with Allen Ginsberg and others at the founding of the Jack Kerouac School.
Filmography and Videography
Julian was the stills photographer on the feature films Goldie[8] (2019), Diane[9] (2018) and Monsters and Men[10] (2018). Alongside American poet Lee Ann Brown, she co-directed the short film Color Work (1999).[11] She has shot and directed commissioned projects for American Poets Congress, Lost Voyage Collective, and Futurepoem Books.[1]
Poetry
Julian received her MFA from Bard College, and her poems have been featured in The Poetry Project newsletter and literary outlets such as Chain, Talisman, and Pharos.[1]
