New Weathers Summary

New Weathers: Lectures from the Naropa Archive by Anne Waldman

A collection of lectures transcribed from the audio archives of Naropa Universitys Summer Writing Program that represent a continuing lineage of experimental literary movements.

New Weathers asks us to consider how poetics might embolden deeper engagements with the world. Collected from the alternative education zone founded by Anne Waldman and Allen Ginsberg with the aim of opening up discourse and fostering political engagement, these texts invoke issues of gender and race-based injustice, the global climate crisis, and our possible extinction. They weave through our poetic community, the conversations we are having, the issues we are facingour new weathers to posit strategies of resistance.

New Weathers Reviews

"The lectures compiled here range from poem to storytelling to information-share to monologue, but all have at least two (and certainly many more) things in common: first, that they are concerned with the construction of a livable future for the world, for poetry, for art, for life; and second, that they owe their existence to the archive. . . [I]n every line detailed above, I feel the grace of the archive like a guiding hand."The Brooklyn Rail
Waldman has developed her own patented brand of rhythmically insistent model structure, both conveying and imitating the transitoriness of the human moment. Occurring in key points in this scheme, harmonistic images of natural wholeness, reconciliation and plentitude provide the chords that hold the receptive, inclusive structures together.San Francisco Chronicle

Anne Waldman is a poet orator, her body an instrument for vocalization, her voice a trembling flame rising out of a strong body, her texts that accurate energetic fine notations of words with spoken music latent in mindful arrangement on the page.Allen Ginsberg

Celebrates her awareness of the many roles a woman plays with incantations of comtemporary flux. . . . A reader-performer, a manic public voice whose poetry joins graffiti, collage, jazz, and conversation.Library Journal

About Anne Waldman

Anne Waldman, poet, performer, professor, literary curator, and cultural activist, has been a prolific and active poet and performer many years, creating radical hybrid forms for the long poem, both serial and narrative, as with Marriage: A Sentence, Structure of the World Compared to a Bubble, Manatee/Humanity, and Gossamurmur, all published by Penguin Poets. She is also the author of the magnum opus The Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism of Concealment (Coffee House Press 2011), a feminist cultural intervention taking on war and patriarchy which won the PEN Center 2012 Award for Poetry. Recent books include: Voices Daughter of a Heart Yet To Born (Coffee House 2016) and Trickster Feminism (Penguin, 2018). She has been deemed a counter-cultural giant by Publishers Weekly for her ethos as a poetic investigator and cultural activist, and was awarded the American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation for Lifetime Achievement in 2015. She has also been a recipient of The Shelley Award for Poetry (from the Poetry Society of America), a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Elizabeth Kray Award from Poets House, NYC in 2019. Waldman has also been at the fore-front many decades in creating poetic communities and has focused on the necessity of archival practices to insure the memory of some of the 20th and 21st centurys most precious literary histories and oral recordings. She was one of the founders of the Poetry Project at St Marks Church In-the-Bowery, and its Director a number of years and then went on to found The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University with Allen Ginsberg and Diana di Prima in 1974 and went on to create its celebrated MFA Program. She has continued to work with the Kerouac School as a Distinguished Professor of Poetics and Artistic Director of its Summer Writing Program. During the global pandemic she and co-curator Jeffrey Pethybridge have created the online Carrier Waves iteration of the famed Summer Writing Program. She is the editor of The Beat Book and co-editor of Civil Disobediences: Poetics and Politics in Action, and Beats at Naropa and most recently, Cross Worlds: Transcultural Poetics. She is a Chancellor Emeritus of the Academy of American Poets. She makes her home in New York City and Boulder, Colorado.


Emma Gomis is a Catalan American poet, essayist, editor and researcher. She is the cofounder of Manifold Press. Her texts have been published in Denver Quarterly, The Brooklyn Rail, Entropy, and Asymptote among others and her chapbook Canxona is forthcoming from b l u s h lit. She was selected by Patricia Spears Jones as The Poetry Projects 2020 Brannan Poetry Prize winner.
