Bob Perelman, both as a poet and an extremely intelligent and witty analyst of the language writing movement, writes as someone genuinely hoping to explain his subject to readers who are not already converts. -- Roger Gilbert
Bob Perelman, Associate Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, is a nationally known poet. He has published ten books of poetry as well as a critical book, The Trouble with Genius: Reading Pound, Joyce, Stein, and Zukofsky.
"[An] excellent critical study of language writing and its place in literary history... Perelman delivers a Rosetta Stone which will be invaluable to those seeking a clearer understanding of the movement's origins, theories, and goals."--Poetry Room
