Between the Age of Innocence and the Age of Experience comes
The Age of Huts. This book brings together for the first time all of the poems in Ron Silliman's
Age of Huts cycle, including
Ketjak, Sunset Debris, The Chinese Notebook, and
2197, as well as two key satellite texts,
Sitting Up, Standing, Taking Steps, and
BART. Each poem offers a radically different approach toward using language to explore the world. One of the founding works of Language Poetry,
The Age of Huts is 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, to
2197, a serial work that scrambles the vocabulary and grammar of its sentences,
The Age of Huts questions everything we have known about poetry in order to see the world anew.
