Anne Waldman is a poet, professor, activist, and co-founder of two of the most important poetry/cultural institutions in the USA: The Poetry Project at St Mark’s Church In-the-Bowery and The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, a program she co-directed with Allen Ginsberg for a number of years. They were both arrested in the 1970s with Daniel Ellsberg protesting at the Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant. She continues to curate the celebrated Summer Writing Program in Boulder and also works on projects in NYC.

She is the author of over 50 books of poetry including "TRICKSTER FEMINISM" (Penguin 2018), a series of meditations on emergency and sanctuary. "Fast Speaking Woman" (City Lights) continues to stay in print. Her book-length poems from Penguin include "Marriage: A Sentence," "Structure of The World Compared toThe World," "Manatee/Humanity" and "Gossamurmur," an allegory about the rescue of poetry’s archive. Her 1000-page feminist epic "The Iovis Trilogy: Colors In The Mechanism of Concealment" from Coffee House Press won the USA Pen Award for Poetry.

She was a recipient of a Guggenheim, the Shelley Award, and a lifetime achievement award from the Before Columbus Foundation. She appears in the "Rolling Thunder Review – A Bob Dylan Story" directed by Martin Scorsese (2019). She wrote the libretto for “Artaud In the Black Lodge” for composer David T. Little which will premiere at Opera Philadelphia in 2020.

She has performed with Meredith Monk, Douglas Dunn, Thurston Moore and collaborated with artists Pat Steir and Richard Tuttle. She performs with her family band Fast Speaking Music (Devin Brahja Waldman and Ambrose Bye) in many parts of the world.
