On September 23, Questions of Poetics was the focus of an intense and productive discussion among a group of faculty and students from the English Department at UC Berkeley. The event was introduced by Lyn Hejinian and continued with response papers from Charles Altieri, Dan Blanton, Jane Gregory, and Andrew Key. Participants were provided with pdfs of the introduction and the first part of chapter 2, on “Language Writing and Late Capitalism.” The discussion centered on key claims of the book as a whole and of that chapter, including: radical particularity, textual materiality, period style, reception history, and recent controversies in poetics. The conversation continued later in the day at the Beta Lounge, followed by a book launch at Moe’s Books that evening.

Reason 1: Language writing should not be understood in merely formalist terms.
Reason 2: It is a consequence of the cultural logic of the period(s) in which it was written and has its influence.
Reason 3: But, we must ask, what is a cultural logic, and how many of them are there to name?
Reason 4: If Enlightenment is a cultural logic, not just an abstract universal, the poetics of this situation are yet to be found out.
Reason 5: It is not exaggerating to claim these debates have scarcely been engaged, and will continue past publication of this volume.
Reason 6: The relation of Language writing to identity is a major motivation, as is the question of free speech as liberationist goal. … More
