IN THE AMERICAN TREE

Poetry. IN THE AMERICAN TREE is an anthology offering the most substantial collection of work by the Language poets now available, along with 130 pages of theoretic statements by poets included in the anthology. The poets represented include Robert Grenier, Barrett Watten, Lynn Hejinian, Bob Perelman, Michael Palmer, Michael Davidson, Clark Coolidge, Charles Bernstein, Hannah Weiner, Bruce Andrews, Susan Howe, Fanny Howe, Bernadette Mayer, Ray DiPalma, and others. "For millennia, poets have had to make their own way and the world that goes with it. The genius of these various writers and the consummate clarity with which they are presented here make very clear again that not only is this the road now crucial for all poetry, it's literally where we are going"-Robert Creeley.
