Recognized in the lineage of Whitman and Ginsberg, and in the Beat, New York School, and Black Mountain trajectories of the New American Poetry, Waldman’s work is energetic, passionate, panoramic and fierce at times.

Waldman’s appearances are co-sponsored by the West Florida Literary Federation and Pensacola State College.
