The POETRY PROJECT’s New Year’s Day Marathon Reading

December 29, 2021

As you make your plans for replacing the kitchen calendar with the 2022 edition, remember that on New Year’s Day, you can indulge in a marathon poetry reading that starts at noon and ends at midnight. Once again, due to the pandemic, the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church will be presenting its annual New Year’s Day reading on Zoom, which does have the advantage of allowing those of us in the post-World War II diaspora of poets across the country to attend and savor work that still is part of this legendary set of scenes. Several “generations” of poets affiliated with the Poetry Project will have representative figures contributing to the event. Here is a list of some of the better-known poets as well as the entire schedule.

48th Annual New Year’s Day POETRY PROJECT Marathon Reading
Featuring Anselm Berrigan, John Godfrey, Barbara Henning, Jim Behrle, Erica Hunt, Bob Rosenthal, Don Yorty, Jordan Davis, Kristen Prevallet, Bob Holman, Fred Moten, Anne Tardos, Brenda Coultas, Rachel Levitsky, Lee Ann Brown; Michael Gottlieb; CA Conrad; Wayne Koestenbaum; Joan La Barbara; Brendan Lorber; Greg Masters; Eleni Sikelianos; Jo Ann Wasserman; Fanny Howe; Charles Bernstein; Todd Colby; Peter Gizzi; Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola; Pierre Joris; Vincent Katz; Nicole Peyrafitte;; Cecilia Vicuña; Anne Waldman; Hoa Nguyen; Andrea Abi-Karam; Hannah Black; Wo Chan; Lydia Lunch; Yoshiko Chuma; Patricia Spears Jones; Eileen Myles; Pamela Sneed; Edwin Torres; and Nicole Wallace.

Imagine a Zoom reading in which the above poets rotated with poets based in Los Angeles and San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley! Now that would be an event worthy of the attention of every poet under the age of 25 as a crash course introductory survey of their predecessors.

John Godfrey; Will Alexander; Ivan Arguelles;
Barbara Henning; Harry Northup; Richard Oranger;
