The tribute readers for this event will be Emma Gomis, Patricia Spears Jones, Rachel Levitsky, and Eleni Sikelianos. Anne Waldman was born in Millville, New Jersey, in 1945.

From 1966 until 1978, Waldman ran the St. Mark’s Poetry Project in New York City, and in 1974, together with Allen Ginsberg, cofounded the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. She is the author of more than forty books and has concentrated on the long poem as a cultural intervention with such projects as Marriage: A Sentence (2000) and Structure of The World Compared to a Bubble (2004) and the anti-war feminist epic The Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism of Concealment (2011). Anthologies that she has edited include Nice to See You: Homage to Ted Berrigan (1991), The Angel Hair Anthology (2001), Civil Disobediences (2004), and Beats at Naropa (2009). She is a recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the Poetry Society of America’s Shelley Memorial Award, and was appointed a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. Waldman is the artistic director of the summer writing program at Naropa University and divides her time between Boulder and New York.
