Resumo

The essay attempts to find a common poetics in the works of two Language poets, Karen Mac Cormack and Steve McCaffery. It starts with a general consideration of their common membership of that movement, and proceeds to analyse their distinctive poetic contributions in the treatment of syntax, and in their rejection of, and fascination with, the structure of narrative. These positions are shown to involve leaving mainstream conceptions of language for the construction of another concept of language. In turn, this new concept of language finds its most precise formulation in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, and the poetics of Mac Cormack and McCaffery can consequently be described as a Deleuzean poetics.
