'Hannah Weiner' (November 4, 1928 – September 11, 1997) was an American poet who is often grouped with the ''Language poets'' because of the prominent place she assumed in the poetics of that group.
Weiner was born in Providence, Rhode Island and attended Radcliffe College, graduating with a B.A. in 1950. She began writing poetry in 1963 and published her first book, ''The Magritte Poems'' in 1966. In the late 1960s, she participated in a number of artistic events in New York, where she had been living for some time.
In the early 1970s, Weiner began writing a series of journals that were partly the result of her experiments with clairvoyant or automatic writing and partly a result of her schizophrenia. She influenced a number of the Language poets (or 'L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets' after the magazine that bears that name). Weiner was included in the ''In the American Tree'' anthology of Language poetry. Her books include ''Clairvoyant Journal'' (1974), ''Little Books/Indians '' (1980), ''The Fast'' (1992), ''Silent Teachers Remembered Sequel '' (1994), ''And We Speak Silent '' (1996).
Interest in Weiner continues into the 21st century with the recent publication of ''Hannah Weiner’s Open House'' (2007). a "a representative selection spanning her decades of poetic output" [1] This volume was edited by Patrick F. Durgin, who provides an overview of Weiner's art:
