Bernadette Mayer (May 12, 1945 – November 22, 2022) was an American poet, writer, and visual artist. She was connected to both the Language poets and the New York School.[1][2]
Mayer wrote more than 30 books of poetry. She won a Guggenheim fellowship in 2015. She taught poetry at New England College in New Hampshire, Naropa University in Colorado, the New School and other colleges.[3]
She said about poetry, "“The idea of perfection in a poem is pretty stupid. Because if nothing else is perfect, why should a poem be perfect?”[3]
