LEGEND by Matthew Hofer
Conceived in 1976 and published in 1980, LEGEND exemplifies the political and linguistic commitments of then-nascent Language writing. The twenty-six poems of the volume bring together every possible permutation of collaborative authorship in one-, two-, three-, and five-author combinations.-

LEGEND is justly legendary: a fugitive anthology as oversized in the mythic imagination of Language Poetry's history as its formatComprising both the most radical and most typical impulses of the movement, it is a central text that simultaneously demarcates the outer peripheries of the mappable territory of the period's avant-garde."—Craig Dworkin, editor of The Consequence of Innovation: 21st Century Poetics
