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 a? 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. 410 0$aPoetry &-- 517 3 $aPoetry & Language Writing 606 $aLanguage poetry 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPoetry, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSurrealism (Literature) 615 0$aLanguage poetry. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPoetry, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSurrealism (Literature) 676 $a811.009 700 $aArnold$b David$f1965-$01547330 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782579103321 996 $aPoetry and language writing$93803634 997 $aUNINA
