1.) This early self-contructing and -critiquing was done in magazines (most notably L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E and Poetics Journal) and in talks series. Much of this work has been collected in The L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Book (eds. Bruce Andrews and Charles Bernstein. Carbondale and Edwardsville: Southern Illinois UP, 1984).and in individual writers’ collected essays, such as Charles Bernstein’s Content’s Dream: Essays 1975-1984 (Los Angeles: Sun & Moon, 1986), Ron Silliman’s The New Sentence (New York: Roof, 1987), Steve McCaffery’s North of Intention: Critical Writing 1973-1980 (New York/Toronto: Roof/Underwhich, 1986), Alan Davies’ Signage (New York: Roof, 1987), and Bruce Andrews’ belated Paradise and Method: Poetics & Praxis (Evanston: Northwestern UP, 1996). To break the male pantheon of this list, see Poetics Journal 4, "Women & Language" (1984).
