It's not really my cup of tea, so to speak, and I do, of course, prefer metrical poetry above all others, but there's some interesting things being done if you don't close your mind to it.

If you're not already familiar with him, Ron Silliman is a good place to start if you're interested in reading about all kinds of poetry (including both metrical and "lang-po" with a definite heavy leaning towards language poetry.)

One of the more ambitious and fiery language poets that I'm acquainted with is Jessica Smith.

She seems to have calmed down alot lately and she's not nearly as accessible as she used to be - I miss arguing with her, though, and while I wouldn't admit it to her face, I kinda like the chances she takes and the envelopes she pushes.
