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?
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.

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.
