Joanne Kyger (born November 19, 1934) is an American poet. Her poetry is influenced by her practice of Zen Buddhism and her ties to the poets of Black Mountain, the San Francisco Renaissance, and the Beat generation. ==Overview== Kyger studied at the University of California, Santa Barbara,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big Bridge #4 Chapbook Poet: Joanne Kyger )〕 before moving to San Francisco, in 1957,〔 and becoming involved with the poetry scene around Jack Spicer and Robert Duncan. In 1960 she joined Gary Snyder (whom she had met in San Francisco in 1958) in Japan. They were married on February 28, immediately after her arrival. She later travelled to India with Snyder, Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky, where she met with the Dalai Lama.〔The Beat Book edited by Anne Waldman, pg. 252〕 She returned to the United States in 1964〔Kyger 2000, pg. 280〕 and her first book, ''The Tapestry and the Web'' was published the next year.
