	Biographical Essay on Charles Reznikoff
		Reznikoff's study of the law of the United States seems to have become for him a substitute for the Jewish patrimony of knowledge of the sacred law which he had rejected when he was too young.
		Reznikoffs work is remarkable and original in American literature" and attributed the impression it made on him to its prose style, which he described as "of the greatest delicacy and distinction." Despite such admiration, the novel failed to make any signal impact on the public.
		Reznikoff was too self-critical to be very productive as a poet, and what he did produce too often succumbed to his passion for revision.

	MELUS: "Palestine was a halting place, one of many": Diasporism in the Poetry of Charles Reznikoff - Critical Essay
		In this study of selected works of Charles Reznikoff, one of the first identifiable Jewish American poets of the twentieth century, I hope to illuminate important dimensions of the evolving interplay between the modernist identity of the secular artist and a notion of diaspora dating to antiquity.
		Reznikoff's poetry responds to Jewish traditions that strain against coercive narratives of nationalism, revealing instead unexpected permutations of Jewish creativity, which are invariably located in eminently precarious Diasporic settings.

		Another of Zukofsky's literary mentors at this period was Charles Reznikoff, a New York poet whose early work was also influenced by Imagism.

		...Born in Brooklyn in 1894, Reznikoff has achieved a quiet mastery of the American idiom, which is all the more impressive to the sympathetically attuned ear because of its avoidance of the kind of sensationalism, smut, and slang which are designed to exhibit an easy familiarity with the national life...

	Reznikoff's Testimony
		Charles Reznikoff spent his childhood in apartments piled with his parents’ sewing and populated by refugees.
		Reznikoff’s conscience was devoted to the one aim of accurately representing the particular emotions he had discovered.
		Reznikoff’s humility was real enough, and shows itself in his preference for the term “revision” in place of “creation.” The final step in the process, though, “revision by contemplation,” quietly reasserts the poet’s status, for it signifies nothing else than the simple application of genius.

		Er hält es für eine nicht unbedingt erfolgreiche Werbestrategie des Verlages, den in Amerika zwar anerkannten, aber hierzulande völlig unbekannten Lyriker Reznikoff mithilfe eines Erfolgsautors zu präsentieren, dessen literarische Qualitäten in den Augen des Rezensenten in den letzten Jahren arg zu wünschen übrig ließen.
		Immerhin habe Auster, merkt Frick an, Reznikoff noch persönlich kennen gelernt.
		Reznikoff, Kind russischer Emigranten, lebte von 1894 bis 1976, referiert Frick, seine frühen Gedichte wiesen noch den Einfluss des Imagismus auf, seine Prosa verweise eher auf Joyce.

		Charles Reznikoff and the Jewish Dilemmas of Objectivist Poetry
		The first major Jewish poet in America and a key figure of the Objectivist movement, Charles Reznikoff was a crucial link between the generation of Pound and Williams, and the more radical modernists who followed in their wake.
		According to Fredman, then, the indelible images in Reznikoff's poetry open a window onto the vexed but ultimately successful entry of Jewish immigrants and their children into the mainstream of American intellectual life.

	Charles Reznikoff's The Manner Music: A Book of Not's - Associated Content
		I have recently gone through Charles Reznikoff's lifetime accumulation of manuscripts, and was thunderstruck to find a carefully typed, completed novel, which he apparently never mentioned to anyone, or submitted for publication.
		I believe this novel was written in response to a letter William Carlos Williams wrote Charles in the late 1940's, at a time when Charles' career was at a low ebb, urging him to continue writing at any cost, and if possible to write a novel…
		Reznikoff resists the plotting points of overdrive, resists the overdramatic manipulations of coincidental materializations or character in emotional penury or even the regurgitated clichés of the struggle of friendship, commitment, loyalty.

		Charles Bernstein utilized lyrics first not acoustics first; then you of the 21st century oblivious to the 1990s and beyond can perceive the acoustic guitar as synonymous with lyrics which is not the case with Ch.
		By this, I mean that the prior senses of voice and forms of genre, not to mention the stabilities of "poetic diction," are taken into stranger post-ego areas of language risk, secular conversion, and fun.
		Sinatra did it "my way," and Charles Bernstein (like a zanier Bob Dylan watching a Marx Brothers movie while reading Deleuze and composing the Greenwich Village Joe Hill Blues on a used mouth harp) did it his, and "official verse culture" in the United States will never be the smug same old poesy again.
