    Book Description

    Between the Age of Innocence and the Age of Experience comes The Age of Huts. This book brings together for the first time all of the poems in Ron Silliman's Age of Huts cycle, including Ketjak, Sunset Debris, The Chinese Notebook, and 2197, as well as two key satellite texts, Sitting Up, Standing, Taking Steps, and BART. Each poem offers a radically different approach toward using language to explore the world. One of the founding works of Language Poetry, The Age of Huts is about everything, more or less literally, as each sentence, even each phrase, embarks on its own narrative, linking together to form a large polyphonic investigation of contemporary life. From Ketjak, one of the first poems to employ "the new sentence," to 2197, a serial work that scrambles the vocabulary and grammar of its sentences, The Age of Huts questions everything we have known about poetry in order to see the world anew.

    5 out of 5 stars This book marks a huge break in US counter-poetics.......2000-05-29

    This book with its innovative range of essay/poems and poems/essays marks a huge break in US counter-poetics in the, say, Jack Spicer mode of counter-hegemonic languagings and transnational westcoast imaginary.

    The 'break' occurs somewhere in the Reagan era of political amnesia and neo formalism and petunia-poetry poetics of David Lehman et al; but for readers like me schooled in the Whitmanic sublime canon and US cultural poetics, never would US lyric poesy be the same after the 'new sentence' came down from on high or, better said, from the streets below the exclusionary lyric apparatus: I read the "Alphabet" work sentence by sentence clotted, dazed, dusted, displaced, amazed at the sheer syntactic inventiveness and learning. Ron Silliman has renovated the syntax and linear formation of US poetics discourse from inside its white heat dead man walking/talking core.

      Book Description

      "Under Albany is the shadow movement of Ron Silliman's epic of everyday life, The Alphabet. Silliman provides a set of extended, vividly etched, mostly autobiographical, meditations on the background for each of the original 100 sentences of his 1981 poem Albany. This constructivist memoir provides an exquisitely rich exploration of the relation of context to reference, subtext to meaning, back story to presented experience, and composition to poetics. All of Silliman's work unravels and reforms in this exemplary and exhilarating act of attention, recollection, and reflection." --Charles Bernstein

              Book Description

              A pivotal book for Bernstein, The Sophist demonstrated his great range of subject matter, style, and genre. By contrasting wildly different approaches to poetry, Bernstein not only questions the intrinsic value of any given form but also provides a model for his later heterogeneous books, including My Way and With Strings.
