Silliman provides a set of extended, vividly etched, mostly autobiographical, meditations on the background for each of the original 100 sentences of his 1981 poem Albany. This constructivist memoir provides an exquisitely rich exploration of the relation of context to reference, subtext to meaning, back story to presented experience, and composition to poetics. All of Silliman's work unravels and reforms in this exemplary and exhilarating act of attention, recollection, and reflection. --Charles Bernstein","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49529457213713,"sku":"GOR009525725","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51053320798481,"sku":"NIN9781844710515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126637162769,"sku":"NLS9781844710515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1844710513.jpg?v=1750996072"},{"product_id":"tjanting-book-ron-silliman-9781876857196","title":"Tjanting","description":"Space heater.

This book brings together for the first time all of the poems in Ron Silliman's Age of Huts cycle, including Ketjak, Sunset Debris, The Chinese Notebook, and 2197, as well as two key satellite texts, Sitting Up, Standing, Taking Steps, and BART. Each poem offers a radically different approach toward using language to explore the world. One of the founding works of Language Poetry, The Age of Huts is about everything, more or less literally, as each sentence, even each phrase, embarks on its own narrative, linking together to form a large polyphonic investigation of contemporary life. From Ketjak, one of the first poems to employ 'the new sentence,' to 2197, a serial work that scrambles the vocabulary and grammar of its sentences, \"The Age of Huts\" questions everything we have known about poetry in order to see the world anew.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50598171869457,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50598172066065,"sku":"GOR014010252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51716145381649,"sku":"CIN0520250168VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53075872743697,"sku":"CIN0520250168G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521283940625,"sku":"NLS9780520250161","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520250168.jpg?v=1750697874"},{"product_id":"alphabet-book-ron-silliman-9780817354930","title":"The Alphabet","description":"The Alphabet is a remarkable and notorious literary achievement, decades in the making, one continually debated, discussed, and imitated since fragments of it first appeared in the 1970s. Consisting of twenty-six smaller books, one for each letter of the alphabet, it employs language in ways that are startling and innovative. Over the course of the three decades during which it has appeared - in journals, magazines, and as stand-alone volumes - its influence has been wide-ranging, both on practicing poets and on critics who have had to contend with the way it has changed the direction of American poetry.Ron Silliman, a founder of the language poetry movement in the 1960s and one of its most dedicated and acclaimed practitioners, has deployed in \"\"The Alphabet\"\" the full range of formal and linguistic experiments for which he is known.\"\"The Alphabet\"\" is a work of American ethnography, a cultural collage of artifacts, moments, episodes, and voices - historical and private - that capture the dizzying evolution of America's social, cultural, and literary consciousness.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50930118557969,"sku":"GOR011078004","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/081735493X.jpg?v=1763483111"},{"product_id":"northern-soul-book-ron-silliman-9781848613195","title":"Northern Soul","description":"The second part to be published from Silliman's huge new work-in-progress, Universe,Northern Soul is a book-length poem of observation and reminiscence, a kaleidoscope of impressions occasioned by visits to the north-west of England, home to the music scene of the title.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056665329937,"sku":"NIN9781848613195","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52669914874129,"sku":"NLS9781848613195","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848613199.jpg?v=1751217813"},{"product_id":"new-sentence-book-ron-silliman-9780937804209","title":"The New Sentence","description":"Cultural Studies.
