Retallack: "Movement in Indeterminst poetry [later to fall under the umbrella of Language poetry] is generated to a large extent by the inherent interest of individual units (ripe in their presentness, as a Zen master would say), whether they be lines, sentences, phrases, or phonemes. These must whet the appetite for me. And they must spill over with excess energy--enough to create a lively magnetic field, a charged whole raised to a power significantly greater than the mere sum of parts. There is nothing to 'find out at the end,' no soultion to the crime or the lovers' plight, no homily to live by, no punch line. There is the process of the reader interacting with text, a process which must deliver an abundance unimaginable at the start."
