Robert Grenier has been the most revered of the language writers with no detractors that we know of. As Anselm Holo said: In the past two decades, Robert Grenier’s work has advanced word-art in a joyous, pacific, and irresistible way: his words are inscribed on visible (and invisible, i.e., interior) prayer-flags that flutter above and around the habitations of many surviving anarchically intelligent humans in this hemisphere (and, I guess, the other one, too). Come from the wind/breath, gone into the wind/breath, returning and emanating, in great precision, playfulness, and delighted integrity. The intelligence of joy, once again manifest in our poetry.
Robert Grenier is a poet associated with the Language Writing. He was founding co-editor (with Barrett Watten) of the influential magazine This. 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 writers.
