I just heard that there were these scandalous writers called Language poets who didn't make any sense, and I wanted to go and see for myself what they were like, and some of them didn't do much for me, but this writer, Rae Armantrout, did an awful lot, and I kept reading her until I felt I knew what was going on, as I do with this poem.
فقط شنیده بودم که نویسندگان مفتضحی به نام شاعران زبان هستند که  هیچ مفهومی را انتقال نمی دهند، و من می خواستم بدانم که  برای من اینها چه هستند، بعضی ها زیاد چنگی به دل نمی زدند، اما این نویسنده، ری آرمانترونت، برخلاف آنها بود،  و من به مطالعه ی آثار او ادامه دادم تا وقتی که احساس کردم می فهمم چه می گوید درست مثل این شعر.
