The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church was founded in 1966 for the
overlapping circles of poets in the Lower East Side of New York.
These interviews from The Poetry Project Newsletter form a kind of
conversation over time between some of the late 20th century's most
influential poets and artists, who have come together in this
legendary venue over the past 50 years. Includes interviews with
Charles North, Anne Waldman, Bernadette Mayer, David Rattray, Allen
Ginsberg, Kenneth Koch, Harryette Mullen, Barbara Henning, David
Henderson, Lisa Jarnot, Alice Notley, Ed Sanders, Samuel Delany,
Harry Matthews, Victor Hernandez Cruz, Renee Gladman, Lorenzo
Thomas, Fred Moten, Stan Brakhage, Alex Katz, Lewis Warsh, Ron
Padgett, Maggie Nelson, Wayne Koestenbaum, Eileen Myles, and more.
"I find it one of the liveliest points of communication in the
American poetry world. There is an incredible excitement to come to
the church and read one's poems to the many other poets who
congregate there, drawn to the church by its own energy and
thrust." --Donald Hall From the introduction, by Anselm Berrigan:
For the poets closely involved with the Poetry Project since, and
subsequent to, its inception, the interviews were an opportunity to
speak directly to a community one could perceive as known,
imaginary, expanding, unwieldy, intermittent, formative,
desperately necessary, and sometimes peculiarly unsatisfying all at
once. Community being the kind of term that often implies
everything and nothing simultaneously, with the bottom falling out
of the word depending on who happens to be wielding it. Poets can
be particularly adept at using and exposing such terms.
