Charles Bernstein's Swiftian satire of generative poetics and the textual apparatus, together with Marjorie Perloff's critical-historical treatment of writing after Bernstein and other proponents of language poetry, provides an itinerary of contemporary poetics in terms of both theory and practice. The other essays consider precursors, recognizable figures within the histories or prehistories of contemporary poetics, from Kafka and Joyce to Wallace Stevens and Kathy Acker; conjunctions, in which more strictly theoretical and poetical texts enact a concerted engagement with rhetoric, prosody, and the vicissitudes of intelligibility; cursors, which points to the open possibilities of invention, from Augusto de Campos's concrete poetics to the codework of Alan Sondheim; and transpositions, defining the limits of poetic invention by way of technology.
