you should then read anything in the american modernist/post-war & postmodern tradition since pound & williams i.e. zukofsky, oppen, thru to creeley and olson then l=a=n=g=u=a=g=e guys like larry eigner and then maybe look at susan howe for a true post-avant language based poetics.
thurston is a truly awful poet - amazing songwriter/musician, awful poet.
post-beat is a genre that should be left alone to die.
