Anne Waldman
Anne Waldman, one of the founders and directors of the Poetry Project at St Mark’s Church In-the-Bowery in New York City and co-founder of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University.

Based on personal study and experience, Anne Waldman speaks on the refuge and Bodhisattva vows, the Six Realms of Existence, “co-emergent wisdom” and a parallel vow to poetry, and the joys and contradictions therein. She integrates her own poetry, particular writers associated with the Beat Literary Movement, and Giorgio Agamben’s notion of being contemporary with one’s time as “looking into the darkness”.
