✦ Synopsis

Between the Age of Innocence and the Age of Experience comesThe**Age of Huts.This book brings together for the first time all of the poems in Ron Silliman'sAge of Hutscycle, includingKetjak, SunsetDebris, The Chinese Notebook,and2197,*as well as two key satellite texts,*Sitting Up, Standing, Taking Steps,andBART.*Each poem offers a radically different approach toward using language to explore the world. One of the founding works of Language Poetry,*The Age ofHutsis about everything, more or less literally, as each sentence, even each phrase, embarks on its own narrative, linking together to form a large polyphonic investigation of contemporary life. From*Ketjak,one of the first poems to employ "the new sentence," to2197,*a serial work that scrambles the vocabulary and grammar of its sentences,The**Age of Hutsquestions everything we have known about poetry in order to see the world anew.
