5.0 out of 5 stars
A Whitman Sampler, of sorts
A distillation of a journal published a couple decades ago, this enjoyable collection offers brief essays from a number of writers. Each piece presents a distinct, if sometimes quirky, entry way into the world of L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E poetry. Prepare to have your mind warped. Prepare to laugh, and prepare to confront some dense, but rewarding prose.

The English Language meets Cuisine Arte.
If you like to see the English language --- the Queen's English, that is to say --- subjected to the most vicious of butcherings and prententious, pedantic doodeling, than I think this books will be right up your alley. I, however, prefer such masters of Her Majesty's language as Judith Butler, Gayatri Spivak, Hobi Baba, ann Michael Hardt. Not.

Bernstein is one of the great poets in the world today and this is a brilliant insight into the poetics of the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E "school". If you have any serious interest in poetry and poetics, you should read this book.
