Barthes in Journals

As many of the poets considered here belonged to poetry ‘movements’ which constituted themselves through journals, this chapter is structured around those journals, considering the various ways in which small poetry periodicals used Barthes. Considering reviews, interviews, and manifestos, it offers a narrative of Barthes in notable magazines such as the New York-based L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E and its Canadian counterpart Open Letter, and smaller publications such as Bloomington, Indiana’s Wch Way. In this way, it includes the work of poets and critics whose engagement with Barthes is more tangential and bound up with the general project of a community of writers, such as Michael Palmer and Steve McCaffery.
