Poetry off the Shelf: Anne Waldman

Anne Waldman is an internationally acclaimed poet, an editor, a performer, a professor, and an activist; she has been a touchstone of the lively and experimental wings of the New American Poetry, particularly the Beat and New York school communities, for decades. She is, in her own words, “drawn to the magical efficacies of language as a political act.” In Trickster Feminism, she continues to incarnate the poetry of resistance, meditating on gender, existence, passion, and activism.
