Ron Silliman

    Ron Silliman is een belangrijke figuur in de hedendaagse Amerikaanse poëzie, gevierd om zijn ambitieuze en uitgebreide werken die de grenzen van vorm en taal verleggen. Hij staat bekend om zijn diep observerende stijl, waarbij hij nauwgezet gedichten creëert die zich bezighouden met de complexiteit van het bewustzijn en de textuur van het dagelijks leven. Sillimans aanpak daagt vaak traditionele poëtische structuren uit, en geeft de voorkeur aan een vloeiende, associatieve methode die de ingewikkelde aard van gedachten en ervaringen weerspiegelt. Zijn toewijding aan experimentele praktijk heeft hem gevestigd als een vitale en invloedrijke stem in de moderne literatuur.

      Literary Nonfiction. Biography and Memoir. PART 10 is the final installment of the Grand Piano "experiment." This volume draws some of its themes from experimental music, current Amercian politics, newspaper headlines, and an array of influnces (Kathy Acker, Lorenzo Thomas, Laura (Riding) Jackson, Robert Grenier, Larry Eigner, Clark Coolidge). At the same time, almost all the pieces of the ending volume make some kind of return to the complicated impulses that initally launched the autobiography, resistance to autobiography, writing, language-as-such, memory, time, and especially the rich historical meeting point of these ten authors in the Bay Area literary scene(s) of the 1970s.

      Literary Nonfiction. Biography and Memoir. Part Eight in the ongoing series of collective autobiography, THE GRAND PART 8 continues to mark the events, movements and intersections among ten contributing 1970s Language poets. "THE GRAND PIANO is itself a veering off and an investigation and a playing or experimenting with the materials of language, history, textuality, and temporality, the personal and political, poetry and community....There is an abundance to linger over in THE GRAND PIANO even as and perhaps because of the large gaps and contradictions"--Robin Tremblay-McGaw.
