L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Poetry Movement of the Late 1960s and 1970s

The L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry movement emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a response to mainstream American poetry, focusing on diverse communities in San Francisco and New York. This avant-garde movement emphasized the use of language, drawing readers' attention to the nuances of meaning. Notable figures such as Charles Bernstein, Bruce Andrews, Michael Palmer, Lyn Hejinian, Ron Silliman, and Susan Howe are highlighted in this exploration of the movement's impact on the literary landscape. Rae Armantrout, a professor at the University of California, San Diego, is noted for her contributions to this poetic evolution.
