THIS Magazine 5, 8, 10 Language Poets Coolidge Perelman Watten Mayer Hejinian

  

Rare lot of 3 early issues of THIS magazine-a cornerstone of the Language Poetry movement and a vital artifact of post-avant literary publishing. Edited by Barrett Watten and published between 1971 and 1982, THIS helped define a generation of experimental writers pushing the limits of form, syntax, and political voice.

THIS 8 - With Bernadette Mayer, Lyn Hejinian, Steve Benson, Robert Grenier, and Barrett Watten. THIS 10 - Charles Bernstein, Carla Harryman, Rae Armantrout, Michael Gottlieb, Ray DiPalma, and others.

Barrett Watten, Ron Silliman, Rae Armantrout, Bernadette Mayer, Lyn Hejinian, Bob Perelman, Kit Robinson, Clark Coolidge, Charles Bernstein, Steve Benson, Michael Palmer. Experimental layouts, visual poetics, and radical publishing aesthetics.
