Notes from Source: Ten books on American poetry are identified as examples of the ongoing experimental tradition associated with language poetry. The books were found to adhere to poetic organization, perforative form and propositional order. They are Alice Notley’s ‘The Scarlet Cabinet,’ Jorie Graham’s ‘Materialism,’ Joan Retallack’s ‘Afterrimages,’ Anne Waldman’s ‘Iovis’ and Anne Carson’s ‘Plainwater’ and ‘Glass, Irony and God,’ Lyn Hejinian’s ‘Oxota: A Short Russian Novel,’ Harryette Mullen’s ‘Muse & Drudge,’ Christian Bok’s ‘Crystallography,’ Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s ‘Empathy’ and Leslie Scalpino’s ‘The Return of Painting, the Pearl, and Orion: A Trilogy.’
