Renowned poet Alice Notley was selected as the 2011--2012 Allen Ginsberg Visiting Fellow at Naropa University, February 21--25, 2012. The Allen Ginsberg Visiting Fellowship is distinguished from other visiting programs by its intensive week of the Fellow's reading, instruction, and direct contact with students, who are given access to the writer's expertise, including a weekend practicum and poetry chat. The Allen Ginsberg Visiting Fellowship is made possible by the generous support of the Committee on Poetry, founded by the late Allen Ginsberg.
