Anne Waldman—internationally acclaimed poet, performer, activist, and magpie scholar—has been a force in experimental “Outrider” poetics for over four decades, recognized in the lineages of the Beat, New York School, and Black Mountain traditions while raising the bar as a feminist and cultural activist. Author of more than 60 books, including the classic Fast Speaking Woman, the monumental Iovis Trilogy, and most recently Mesopotopia, her work spans epic poems, essays, performance, opera, and multidisciplinary collaborations. Anne was a co-founder of The Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church in New York and, with Allen Ginsberg and Diane di Prima, the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University in Colorado. She tours Europe in November 2025 with Outrider, a film on and with her, directed by Alystyre Julian, produced by Sarah Riggs, and executive produced by Martin Scorsese.

Outrider (Éclaireuse), d’Alystyre Julian, est le premier portrait cinématographique long métrage consacré à Anne Waldman, poète épique, performeuse et militante nommée aux Grammy Awards. Outrider collabore avec Waldman en tant que « personne tissée » de poésie, force créatrice et sociale inimitable vouée à la propulsion de l’imagination artistique et aux collaborations génératrices qui se forment dans son sillage. Le film évolue dans les cercles artistiques et le tourbillon poétique de Waldman, incluant, entre autres, Patti Smith, Meredith Monk, Bob Dylan, Laurie Anderson, Thurston Moore, Pat Steir et Fast Speaking Music. Outrider célèbre l’énergie visionnaire et la présence transcendante de Waldman, qui canalise la puissance tonitruante de la poésie à travers la tradition ancestrale des bardes.
Le film sera sous-titré en français.
