Hey, Language Poets...Fiiiiight!

Read this new article here. And either be the first to send a volley or watch with me from the bleachers.

I don't have an opinion about this piece really, as my study of language poets is too minimal at this time to formulate an informed opinion (as anyone who overheard my "uh...." conversation with Christopher Rizzo during the Boston Poetry Massacre can attest). I do think that there's probably more credibility in author Joan Houlihan's quoted sources than in his attempt to lump an entire group in such a small essay.

Come to think of it, is this article old? Or have I read similar?

(Update: Oh, shit, it is. Sorry. I shouldn't trust message boards that are blantantly anti-language.)
