Berrigan's audience is deservedly broad and loyal: he is among the
most respected and well-known poets writing in America today, both
for his work, which unceasingly challenges language and the role of
the writer-citizen, and for the many hats he wears as editor,
educator, and curator. Berrigan comes from a family intimately tied
to 20th century poetics: his mother is acclaimed poet Alice Notley,
his father, the acclaimed late poet Ted Berrigan. Berrigan served
as Artistic Director of the legendary Poetry Project at St. Mark's
Church (2004-2007), and hosted its venerated and well-attended
Wednesday Night Reading Series. He is poetry editor for The
Brooklyn Rail and Co-Chair of Writing at the Milton Avery Graduate
School of the Arts. He also teaches at Pratt Institute and Brooklyn
College. Berrigan was a New York State Foundation for the Arts
fellow in Poetry, and has received two grants from the Fund for
Poetry. Notes From Irrelevance has nearly limitless possibilities
for teaching; its multiple points of entry including the
juxtaposition of love for and mistrust of language, its interest in
philosophy, politics, and the subjectivity of being in the world,
all of which are very current topics of discussion in poetry today.
