| | L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The seed of language poetry was the launch of This magazine, edited by Robert Grenier and Barrett Watten in 1971. | | | The influence of Gertrude Stein came from the fact that she was a writer who had frequently used language divorced from reference in her own writings. | | | During the late 1980s and early 1990s, langpo, as the literary tendency came to be abbreviated, became the orthodoxy of innovative poetry in the U.S., a trend that was accentuated by the fact that some leading proponents took up academic posts in the Poetics, Creative Writing and English Literature departments in prominent universities. |

| | Language poets believed that language is political and they wanted to use "play" in language to wage war on the social and political structures in poetry. | | | Language poets rejected the narrative model of poetry that has been prevelent in most of the history of literature. | | | Popular poetry of the time was thought to be narrative poetry (always a speaking voice narrating the poetry) and language poets felt this was a narrow definition of verbal art. |

| | George Hartley on Language Poetry |
| | Language poet Lyn Hejinian argues in Temblor 3 (1986) that Stein's language is not only meaningful but is in fact a form of realism superior to what we customarily call realism, a mimesis not of the external object but of the perceptual process, a realism not of subject matter but of artistic means. | | | Specifically, what has come to be known as Language Poetry is held out to be one of the poetic modes of the present moment (in addition to certain minority, feminist, and gay poetries) which functions as such a critique. | | | Because of this difficulty, I have tended to focus on those Language poets who have made specifically Marxist claims for their work. |

| | As a lesbian poet, Stein relied on the privacy of her "codes" precisely to construct a radical language of difference. | | | Clearly it is not just the sexual coupling of these bodies that concerns Scalapino, but also the very nature of perception and repetition, the concerns Stein elaborates in "Portraits and Repetition" and in her poetry. | | | But in her considerable body of work she also interrogates the politics of the erotic, employing allusions to what she calls "the erotica genre" in refigured forms. |

| | Poetry Previews: Language Poetry |
| | As McGann continues in the same essay, L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E P=O=E=T=S experimented with form and diction, ultimately bringing organization/form to where previously none (or little in the sense of being a poetic work) was found. | | | Here a conscious attempt has been made to marry the work of the New American Poetry of the fifties with the poststructural work of the late sixties and seventies. | | | Regardless, L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E P=O=E=T=R=Y remains an interesting legacy that will continue to bewilder and invigorate generations of poets and readers. |

| | College Literature: Postmodernism and Subversive Parody: John Yau's "Genghis Chan: Private Eye" Series |
| | Alluding to critical reception of his poetry, John Yau refers to himself as "the poet who is too postmodern for the modernists and too modern for the postmodernists" (1994, 40). | | | Aldon Lynn Nielsen in his book, Black Chant: Languages of African-American Postmodernism, notes that even though recent literary anthologies celebrate "the margins and revaluing aesthetic transgression," experimental poems such as those by the African American poet Norman H. Pritchard continue to be ignored (1997,12, 11). | | | Critics have challenged the exclusion of minority writers in the study of postmodern American poetry. |

| | Dale is an established poet and editor, Charles isn’t. | | | That, in effect, Hejinian has simply failed to define what “best” is. According to Houlihan the poems—many, many of the poems in the collection—the so-called “language poems” or “new writings” also fail to define themselves with sufficient grace to please her. | | | What a pleasure to read and to comment and to have these poets share their work with such openness. |

| | Adopting Stein |
| | At the forefront of the feminist politics latent in Language poetry are female reinvestigations of Stein’s poetry as feminist texts. | | | Looking to the discoveries the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets made with regard to Stein, new poets may move beyond the critiques of how Stein uses time and space and utilizes Stein’s principles in new work. | | | This effort to depict the evolution of an object over Time is at the heart of cubism, but may be taken in an abstract form from Stein’s work and established as a root for a new wave of visual poetry. |

| | Stir Frys and Cut Ups by Jim Andrews |
| | If we acknowledge that our ideas are drawn not always from a blank tablet but are instead indebted to the work of those whom we have read and heard and seen, we see that much of what we do, however original, is cut together from the work of others. | | | Correspondence was also a tribute to my friends' writing and our involvement together in this seeking together of insight about the cut up and language and art. | | | So there is a sense in which even this sort of writing is a cut up or cut together. |
