charles bernstein definition language poetry
Charles Bernstein is mostly widely known for his early influence in Language poetry. A loose constellation of experimental writers in New York, San Francisco, and Toronto, Language poetry emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s and promoted new forms of experimental writing that paid attention to language itself.n describing the concerns of Bernstein's writing, McGann uses the phrase the poet's office, an expression that well fits Bernstein's conception of writing as a political act. Bernstein has edited a volume titled The Politics of Poetic Form: Poetry and Public Policy (1990).
