Anselm Berrigan (born 1972) is an American poet and academic.[1]

Life[]

Berrigan is the son of poets Alice Notley and Ted Berrigan.[1] He is the brother of poet and musician Edmund Berrigan, half-brother of Kate Berrigan and scientist David Berrigan, and stepson of the late English poet and prose writer Douglas Oliver.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Anselm Berrigan grew up in New York City, where he currently resides with his wife, poet Karen Weiser. From 2003 to 2007, he served as artistic director at the St. Mark's Poetry Project. He has also lived in Buffalo, New York, at the "Ranch" and was known lovingly as "Anton" in San Francisco, California.

He is a co-chair of the writing program at the Bard College summer MFA program and a professor at Wesleyan University. He has also taught writing at Brooklyn College, Rutgers University, Pratt Institute, and the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa. His newest work, a book-length poem called Notes From Irrelevance, was released in 2011, through Wave Books.
