Strange Big Moon: The Japan and India Journals, 1960-1964
"Kyger is 'self' conscious enough to laugh at herself. She never stoops to sentimentalizing, never drifts into writing-as-therapy, as so much current 'journaling' does. Yet the writing of these pages is her salvation."—Anne Waldman, from the Foreword"Her journals chronicle what it meant to be a woman trying to write in those pre-feminist beat days, when men were the ones designated as spiritual and creative. Kyger has a sharp wit and a sharper eye."—Miriam Sagan
