Welcome, indeed. But although I agree with Sheila here, I also think we need to think 'L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E P=O=E=T=R=Y' as an aspect of an historical moment, & a more generalized 'language poetry' as something that emerges individually, among a much wider range of poets & variety of poetics within, say, a modernist/(perhaps 'postmodernist') tradition, which in NA, at any rate, has much to do with what has been called the Pound-Williams line, or maybe emerging from/within what was called The New American Poetry... something like that?
