Anne Waldman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Anne Waldman (b. 1945)<\/strong> is an American poet. “From 1966 to 1968, she served as assistant director of the\u00a0Poetry Project<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0St. Mark’s<\/a>; and, from 1968 to 1978, she served as the Project’s Director” (from Wikipedia<\/a>, to be updated later …).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waldman is one of the most important figures in Carroll’s literary career. Author of more than 60+ books of poetry herself, along with numerous collaborations, she ran the Poetry Project at St. Mark\u2019s — where Carroll first began reading his diaries and poetry to audiences — and she edited The World<\/em>, the literary magazine in which Carroll first began publishing his poems and diaries in the late 1960s. She also included his work in her two World<\/em> anthologies (and others). As a result, Waldman sort of gave Carroll his start as a writer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carroll worked as an assistant at the Poetry Project in the late sixties, early seventies (See “Tiny Tortures” in Forced Entries<\/em> [pp. 58-59]). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waldman appears in Poetry in Motion<\/em> and Gang of Souls<\/em>, and on The Dial-a-Poem Poets<\/em>, Disconnected<\/em>, and Better an Old Demon Than a New God<\/em>, along with Carroll and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
