 Verse: NEW! Review of Rae Armantrout's Up to Speed
Generally, the relationship among Armantrout’s sections is far from transparent, and titles seldom solve the issue.
In “Almost,” Armantrout speaks of disjunction as a humorous defense against death: “the way we joke / by using non-sequiturs, elliptical remarks / which deliberately suppress context / in advance / of time’s rub-out.” The “we” may include Armantrout’s fellow Language Poets.
It is not Armantrout’s job to resolve such difficulties, but to “play” them on her subtle instrument, to pursue them elaborately, from diverse angles.

 University of Iowa Writers' Workshop presents reading by poet Rae Armantrout Oct. 26
Armantrout was a founding member of the West Coast "Language Poetry" movement, although her work is not easily definable by that label.
Wesleyan's selection shows that as with William Carlos Williams, to whom Armantrout owes a debt in the curious torquing of her sentences, it is not stylistic pyrotechnics, grandiose theoretical syntheses or encyclopedic references that drives these terrific poems, but an original and quirky turn of mind."
Armantrout is a faculty member of the University of California at San Diego.

Thus, some of Armantrout's poetics are traced to the influences of her peers, the Bay area experimental poets who published with The Figures press in the 70s, including Lyn Hejinian and Kit Robinson.
Armantrout is considered to be a poet writing the self-aware "analytic lyric," and, as a lyric poet, accessible to readers new to experimental poetry.

 UCSD Literature Department Faculty: Rae ARMANTROUT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Her poems are telegenically “regional,” filled with bungalows, newscasters and swimming pools yet they ring with an immaterial clarity that quietly subsumes her readers and listeners in a radical and eerily funny vision.
Rae Armantrout came up as a poet in the Bay Area, educated at UC Berkeley (AB, 1970), where she studied with Denise Levertov, and San Francisco State (MA, 1975).
Subsequently, she was at the center of the first generation of Language Poets, the group in the US most often credited with introducing poetry to postmodernity.

 Jacket 18 - Charles Alexander reviews The Pretext by Rae Armantrout
Armantrout, perversely, may be literal (can the literal be perverse?), in which case pretext is pre-text, before the text.
Armantrout’s vision, equally dark, is also not cause for despair, yet there is not, as in Camus, a kind of triumph over circumstance.
Armantrout is generally associated with language poetry, but if we widen our lens, we might as well think of her alongside Wyatt, Dickinson, Oppen — other poets who compose intelligent, tough, uncompromising, and immaculately constructed lyrics concerned with who and what we are, and how we are in the world.

 Jacket 12 — Jacket 12 — Stephen Cope reviews A Wild Salience: The Writing of Rae Armantrout
Rae Armantrout is the author of seven published books: Extremities (1978), The Invention of Hunger (1979), Precedence (1985), Necromance (1991), Made to Seem (1995), Writing the Plot About Sets (1998), True (a memoir, 1998) — and two forthcoming works, The Pretext and Veil: New and Selected Poems.
In her work Rae Armantrout is not only referring to a specific part of the world — San Diego; she has absorbed it; and its wilderness, gardened, is justified by her genius.
Ron Silliman, nonetheless, adds a differently sober calculation of Armantrout’s work, focussing on her use of seriality and the poetic series — or, to avoid the confusion of terms, simply writing in segments.

 Opening a 'space of unnerving honesty and complexity' - Maine Campus - Pop Culture & Infotainment
Poet Rae Armantrout delighted last Thursday's New Writing Series audience with poetry that Ann Vickery described in "Dictionary of Literary Bibliography" as "renowned for its sharp social observation combined with an eloquent and often sparse lyricism." Armantrout held true to that description throughout her reading.
Armantrout read mostly from her new book of selected poems, "Veil" (Wesleyan University Press, 2001), which included poems from previous books such as "Necromance," (Sun and Moon Press, 1991) "The Pretext," (Green Integer, 2001) and "Made to Seem" (Sun and Moon Press, 1995).
Armantrout often drew from childhood and present-day personal experiences in her poetry.

Linked by some criticts to the Objectivist tradition, particularly to the poet George Oppen, Rae Armantrout began her writing as a poet closely involved with members of the San Francisco "Language" writers.
Her work indeed incorporates elements of both a close observation of the world around about her and a witty play of linguistic and syntactical elements, but her writing is of its own.
Armantrout's work—which includes Necromance, Made to Seem and the short memoir True—has been increasingly taught in college and university courses; forthcoming is a special collection of essays by numerous authors on her writing, A Wild Salience.

 ARRAS: little reviews: Rae Armantrout, The Pretext
Armantrout is one of the quieter, more reliable writers associated with "language" writing, and is usually considered the "lyrical" one in a group often associated with longer, process-oriented works ("new sentence" writing or the works of Hejinian) or, when writing "lyrics," with a subversion of the genre (Bernstein, Perelman, Howe).
She describes exquisitely the elusive interactions of time and thought, suggesting a quasi-Buddhist code of behavior:
But for all of that, there is a recognizable human at the center of these poems, one who often comes through with an understated humor, "swinging his arms high / like a drum major, / ghost-of-a-prayer / kind of thing." [57]

 Amazon.ca: Editorial Reviews Books: The Pretext   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The San Diego-based Armantrout is usually considered the most lyrically oriented of the language poets, eschewing the longer, process-oriented works of the San Francisco wing (now geographically scattered) of her fellow travelers.
Veil includes work from seven previous collections, including The Pretext (which Green Integer is finally issuing whole), and a section of 19 new poems clocking in at 32 pages.
(Oct.) Forecast: Armantrout steadily gained recognition in the '90s as writers and critics of all stripes discovered her work; Veil is sure to be often assigned on campus, while the full-text Pretext will be more confined to fans.
