robert grenier -lrb- born august 4 , 1941 , in minneapolis , minnesota -rrb- is a contemporary american poet associated with the language school .
he was founding co-editor -lrb- with barrett watten -rrb- of the influential magazine `` this '' -lrb- 1971 -- 1974 -rrb- .
`` this '' was a watershed moment in the history of recent american poetry , providing one of the first gatherings in print of various writers , artists , and poets now identified -lrb- or loosely referred to -rrb- as the language poets .
he is the co-editor of `` the collected poems of larry eigner , volumes 1-4 '' published by stanford university press in 2010 , and was the editor of robert creeley 's `` selected poems '' , published in 1976 .
grenier 's early work , influenced by creeley , is noted for its minimalism .
grenier 's recent work , however , is as much visual as verbal , involving multicolor `` drawn '' poems in special -lrb- and not always reproducible -rrb- formats .
