It has been placed according to its geographical positions, on East or West coasts; its venues in small magazines, independent presses and performance spaces, and its descent from historical precursors, be they the Objectivists, the composers-by-field of the Black Mountain School, the Russian Constructivists or American modernism à la William Carlos Williams and Gertrude Stein. Indeed, one of the few statements that can be made about it with little qualification is that ‘it’ has both fostered and endured a crisis in representation more or less since it first became visible in the 1970s. In Poetry & Language Writing David Arnold grasps the nettle of Language poetry, reassessing its relationship with surrealism and providing a scholarly, intelligent way of understanding the movement. Poets discussed include Charles Bernstein, Susan Howe, Michael Palmer and Barrett Watten.Poetry &--Language poetryAmerican poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismPoetry, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismSurrealism (Literature)Language poetry.American poetryHistory and criticism.Poetry, ModernHistory and criticism.Surrealism (Literature)811.009Arnold David22979MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813998003321Poetry and language writing4200216UNINA
