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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47813572264087,"sku":"9781846311154","price":16720.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781846311154.webp?v=1778336905","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poetry-language-writing-objective-and-surreal-9781846311154","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
