Despite my enthusiasm for the Atelos Press project, I was kind of underwhelmed by this book. It is a straightforward autobiography of a poet anthologized with the first Language poets. It is a short, innocuous, unchallenging book with a few irritating typesetting errors. My favorite part was "the plan." In opening, Armantrout seems to justify her autobiography by suggesting that her life was especially typical.

I guess knowing which poems in the Language Poetries anthology were written on acid may be of interest to a few enthusiasts. Other than that, it's short, dull book. Good design, though.
