Language Poets are a group of American poets who emerged in the late 1970s and 1980s, known for their experimental approach to language and form. They focus on the way language shapes meaning, often using unconventional structures and techniques. This movement challenges traditional notions of poetry by emphasizing the materiality of words and the reader's role in creating meaning. Key figures in the Language Poetry movement include Lyn Hejinian, Ron Silliman, and Charles Bernstein. Their work often features fragmented narratives and playful language, encouraging readers to engage actively with the text. Language Poets aim to explore the complexities of communication and the limitations of language itself.
