Anne Waldman, acclaimed Beat feminist poet and performer, professor, cultural activist, and celebrated author of over 40 books of poetry, will deliver a lecture and perform her poetry during a visit to the University of Georgia Nov. 3 to 7.
On Nov. 7, Waldman will deliver a lecture titled “Outrider: The Role of the Poet as Activist,” at 4 p.m. at the Georgia Museum of Art. The lecture is described as a “feminafesto” about the role of the poet, drawing on Waldman’s investigative studies, her performance poetry and creative work in public space. A local group called the Teacher-Poets Collective will open with a poem for Waldman. There will be a question and answer session following the lecture.
