Sitting together in The Poetry Project’s long-standing home, St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery, Anne Waldman, one of the project's founders, and the poet Kay Gabriel, who helps run it now, talk about the project's heady early days and its deep roots in New York City's cultural landscape.

A Punch in the Gut of a Star / Un Cop de Puny Al Ventre d’Una Estrella, a new collaborative poetry chapbook by Anne Waldman and Emma Gomis written in English and Catalan. The chapbook aims to show telepathy between two poets during a quasi-quarantine or what is colloquially referred to as a “covid-pod.” This collaboration on many levels is a reminder of poetry's power and its trajectories into true psychic shelter.
Made for the T.S. Eliot Memorial Reading celebrating Anne Waldman at Harvard University, where it was first screened in December of ‘22.

Part haunted house, part sacred ritual, this bold new work with a libretto by the composer and legendary poet Anne Waldman and screenplay and direction by Michael Joseph McQuilken blends opera and rock into an alchemical exploration of magic, mystery, regret, and redemption. Black Lodge is an inspired and radical reconsideration of the operatic form by one of America’s most prolific and daring opera composers.
Anne Waldman invited Nathan Wheeler to accompany her in a performance at Roulette Intermedium in December 2021.

From Don Yorty:
I met up with Anne Waldman on a Friday last April at her house in the West Village to record her reading from First Baby Poems, a favorite book of mine. Anne had just come from Penguin Books where she’d been preparing for the publication of her new book, Trickster Feminism.
From Don Yorty:
I came across First Baby Poems by Anne Waldman on my bookshelf not long ago and opened it to find an old Amtrak train ticket from the early 1980s—bookmarking the page with the poem, Sonne. I remember the first time I heard First Baby Poems; it was at a reading Anne was giving—maybe at the Gotham Bookstore—anyway wherever it was I was enthralled. What could be more compelling than a poet writing about having and raising her baby boy?

Where, in this age of bordered ruptures and walled dissonances, does and can one belong, freely associating with or dissociating from whom & what? How does poetry help us re-register our universal membership and respect common alterities beyond our precious little cellularized selves? Why Poetry? If not now, when? Join us for an evening of readings and discussion, where poets will read their work written for this occasion and interrogate these questions.

This reading of Waldman and Berrigan's poem "Memorial Day" was performed as part of a reading series at 98 Greene Street Loft curated by the poet Ted Greenwald. The video was shot by Sandy Hirsch on the only video format that existed at the time, 1/2 inch open reel video, often referred to as Portapak, and like any video shot in this format from the late 1960s to early 1970s, it is now a very fragile historical document.
