Cultural Studies. Linguistics. Originally appearing in 1977 and now in its 11th printing, THE NEW SENTENCE by Ron Silliman is a classic collection of essays by one of the sharpest minds in American contemporary poetic thought. It is a collection with rich insight into Silliman's own monumental poetical work and the writing of his peers, a book which both illuminates the concerns of the era in which it was written and radiates outward with a tremendous scope that continues to bear fruit for the contemporary reader. "Ron Silliman is a terrific prose critic...positively bristles with intellectual and political energy of a very high order" -Bruce Boone.

I'm a fan of Silliman as a critic and provocateur, and thought parts of this book were excellent. I appreciate much of his analysis of syntax, and the historical lessons tracing parataxis back to Rimbaud. And this book might be the best introduction to LANGUAGE poetry I've read.
Then he switches gears from analysis to manifesto, and things go off the rails. As they always do whenever anyone makes an attempt at politicizing style. I would have hoped that Silliman's awareness of history (in all the arts) would have helped put the brakes on this, but no such luck. The result is a screed that's instantly dated, and paints Silliman as someone not worth taking seriously. Which is a shame, because much of his work, including work in this book, is well worth reading and rereading.
