Puro Pinche Langauge Poetry!

Ok, for this project, this is what I think Language poetry is.
In context it means forgetting the system (the English language)
in which these symbols (letters) function,
and instead utilizing these symbols in an
unpolluted environment (Syntax & structure),
or using these symbols in their purest form.

Language poetry forces the reader out of the expected formula,
one where stories and picture are painted for them by poetic images and formulaic narrative,
Instead the Reader with Language poetry is forced to see writing diverged from these expectations.
The Reader of Language Poetry finds that these poems or prose pieces are cloudy and ambiguous like the reality of life itself

Language Poetry is
Playing with raw symbols
To produce an aesthetic
Unlike traditional or untraditional writing
Langue poetry forces the reader
To listen
To conceptualize the meaning of the poem within themselves,
rather than have the poem conceptualize it for them.

Puro Pinche Primal Poetry!
