Nice to See You: Homage to Ted Berrigan

An anthology edited by Anne Waldman January 1, 1991 • 7.5 x 10 • 256 pages • 978-0-918273-11-6 Eight years following Ted Berrigan’s death and seven years in the making, this comprehensive anthology is now available to friends, fans, hippies, beats, bards and chroniclers. Previously announced and finally available, Nice to See You: Homage to Ted Berrigan, edited by longtime friend and colleague Anne Waldman, is a moving tribute to an important poet. “Let none regret my end who called me friend,” wrote Berrigan in “Last Poem”: this is, instead, a celebration of Berrigan’s high-energy life and work. Stories, essays, poems, paintings, and photographs by the gifted group of writers and artists who surrounded Berrigan create a compelling portrait of the New York Lower East Side poetry community over which he sometimes seemed to preside. Like Guillaume Apollinaire, he acted as a catalyst, providing inspiration and encouragement to a host of writers and artists. Donna Dennis, Ron Padgett, Jame
