David Melnick is a gay avant-garde American poet.〔Silliman, Ronald. In the American Tree. Orono: National Poetry Foundation, 1986. 602.〕 He was born in 1938 in Illinois and grew up in Los Angeles, California.〔 He attended the University of Chicago and University of California, Berkeley. Book One of Melnick's homophonic translation of Homer's Illiad, titled ''Men in Aïda'', was published in 1983 by Lyn Hejinian's Tuumba Press. The farcical bathhouse scenario presented in Melnick's translation suggests underlying homoeroticism in the original text.〔Perelman, Bob. ( The marginalization of poetry: language writing and literary history ) (book). Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press. p. 24. ISBN 978-0-691-02138-6. . Retrieved 24 December 2009.〕 Melnick's work has been included in Ron Silliman's 1986 anthology of Language poetry ''In the American Tree''. Craig Dworkin and Kenneth Goldsmith wrote about Melnick's ''Men in Aïda'' in relation to conceptual poetics in 2010's ''Against Expression: An Anthology of Conceptual Writing''. Often grouped with Language poetry, Melnick's ''Men in Aïda'' has been compared to Celia and Louis Zukofsky's ''Catullus''〔Dworkin, Craig Douglas, and Kenneth Goldsmith. ''Against Expression: an Anthology of Conceptual Writing''. Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 2011. 418.〕 and ''PCOET'' has been discussed alongside Russian Futurist Velimir Khlebnikov's ''zaum'' poetics.〔Lutzkanova-Vassileva, Albena.
