Championing the importance of the little words, such as a and the, Zukofsky effected his own proletarian \"revolution of the word.\"Stanley explains how Zukofsky emphasized the materiality of language, refusing to reduce it to a commodity controlled by an \"authorial\/authoritarian\" self. She also describes his legacy to contemporary poets, particularly such Language poets as Ron Silliman and Charles Bernstein.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940139172128,"sku":"NEW0520073576","price":75.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/louis-zukofsky-and-the-transformation-of-a-modern-american-poetics-0520073576","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
