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.

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. The livestream broadcast was a fundraiser for Daniel Weintraub's documentary on Pauline Oliveros.
