Anselm Berrigan

The shadow of a person standing, holding a suitcase, is cast on a sidewalk.

Anselm Berrigan is the author of ten books of poetry, most recently Don't Forget to Love Me (Wave Books, 2024). He is the current lecturer for The Bagley Wright Lectureship, and worked at The Poetry Project between 1998 and 2007 as volunteer, program coordinator, Monday night series organizer, Wednesday night series organizer, and Artistic Director. He also edited What is poetry? (Just kidding, I know you know): Interviews from The Poetry Project Newsletter (1983–2009) for Wave Books (2017).
