90. The New Sentence- Ron Silliman
Roof Books



I really enjoyed this book, kind of surprised by my reaction to it, because like Robert Greiner "I HATE THEORY," shit, that's not what he said is it? I really do detest the poetics in practice of "the new sentence," I hate prosey poetry, even if it is LANGUAGE based, maybe more so, fucking giant blocks of giant paratactic long lines, gag me with a spoon! I've always really likes Silliman's books though, the dude has moxy! it's just what his style led to with less skilled poets that sinks the ship.
