Robert Grenier (born August 4, 1941, in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a contemporary American poet associated with the Language School. He was founding co-editor (with Barrett Watten) of the influential magazine ''This'' (1971–1974). ''This'' was a watershed moment in the history of recent American poetry, providing one of the first gatherings in print of various writers, artists, and poets now identified (or loosely referred to) as the Language poets. He is the co-editor of ''The Collected Poems of Larry Eigner, Volumes 1-4'' published by Stanford University Press in 2010, and was the editor of Robert Creeley's ''Selected Poems'', published in 1976. Grenier's early work, influenced by Creeley, is noted for its minimalism. Grenier's recent work, however, is as much visual as verbal, involving multicolor "drawn" poems in special (and not always reproducible) formats. ==Life and work== Robert Grenier is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Iowa Program in Creative Writing. He has taught literature and creative writing at UC Berkeley, Tufts, Franconia College, New College of California and Mills College. His works include ''Sentences'', ''Series'', ''Oakland'', ''A Day At The Beach'', ''Phantom Anthems'' and ''OWL/ON/BOU/GH''. In an essay from the first issue of ''This'', Grenier declared: "I HATE SPEECH". Ron Silliman, commenting on Robert Grenier's gesture some years afterward, wrote: Grenier’s recent "books" have been variously described as folios of haiku-like inscriptions or transcriptions. Examples of his current holograph poems can be seen on-line through the Grenier ''Author Page'' at the Electronic Poetry Center (see section below: "External links"). Curtis Faville (who co-edited the ''The Collected Poems of Larry Eigner'' with Grenier) states that Grenier "has gone on to produce a new hybrid form--neither "poetry" nor graphic art—which treats words (letters) as a form of literal visual design, in which "legibility" hovers at the edge of apprehension". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Grenier (poet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
