The New SentenceOriginally appearing in 1977 and now in its 11th printing, The New Sentence by Ron Silliman is a classic collection of essays by one of the sharpest minds in American contemporary poetic thought. It is a collection with rich insight into Silliman's own monumental poetical work and the writing of his peers, a book which both illuminates the concerns of the era in which it was written and radiates outward with a tremendous scope that continues to bear fruit for the contemporary reader. "Ron Silliman is a terrific prose critic ... positively bristles with intellectual and political energy of a very high order."--Bruce Boone. Cultural Studies. Linguistics. |
