The Language of Inquiry by Lyn Hejinian

chunky & difficult I think, it took me a minute (two hundred or so pages) to really feel alert & working in these essays. But we got there & I'm glad. better ready with yr russian formalism & so on. but gertrude stein will carry it through. a special mention to the essay 'Barbarism' which does wonderfully, a L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E manifesto though, I am sure, everybody involved would disagree. culminates in the long poem 'Happily'
