Bruce Andrews and Charles Bernstein's L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Reviews

This is an essential text for anyone wanting to understand how American poetry developed over the past half century. It is also full of revelatory insights into the history of struggles over different understandings of the social and political role of language during the theory wars and how writers forged their own new paths. - Peter Middleton, author of Physics Envy: American Poetry and Science in the Cold War and After
