Tender Buttons Press is an independent poetry press founded by American poet Lee Ann Brown, which published several leading writers of the American literary avant garde. Works feature experimental and innovative writing by women. Publications include works by Bernadette Mayer, Anne Waldman, Harryette Mullen, Rosmarie Waldrop, Jennifer Moxley, Laynie Browne, Hannah Weiner, Dodie Bellamy, India Radfar, Michelle Rollman and Katy Bohinc. == History and Poetics == Tender Buttons began in 1989 with the publication of Bernadette Mayer's ''Sonnets''. The press was named for Gertrude Stein's landmark work Tender Buttons which represents the tradition of experimental writing upheld by the press. As Stein's language play opened the field for years of modern and contemporary poets, Mayer's ''Sonnets'' and her innovative play with language are considered by many as a precursor to the American Language Poetry movement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/bernadette-mayer )〕 Other publications by Tender Buttons, including Harryette Mullen's ''Trimmings'', Anne Waldman's ''Not a Male Pseudonym'' and Dodie Bellamy's ''Cunt-Ups'' share important elements of innovative language play while incorporating other major areas of contemporary poetic exploration such as identity politics and sexuality.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/harryette-mullen )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2013/11/from-cut-up-to-cunt-up-dodie-bellamy-in-conversation/ )〕 Rosmarie Waldrop's work, ''Lawn of Excluded Middle'', further extends the language innovation and feminist thematics at the theoretical level, with its rearrangement and interrogation of Wittgenstein's texts. The press' emblem was designed by Joe Brainard and symbolizes the press' and editor Lee Ann Brown's connection to the New York School poets, several of whom were also published by Tender Buttons (Mayer, Waldman, Weiner). Tender Buttons Press is credited with generating non-institutionalized space for experimental writing, serving both the local New York City and national avant garde poetry communities, particularly those of women. 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「Tender Buttons Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
