Influenced early on by Wallace Stevens and Edmond Jabès, and later by Clark Coolidge and Michael Palmer, Gordon’s poetry represents a fusion of many strains of experimental practices. “A lot of my work… deals with stretching expected rhetorical tropes,” notes Gordon. “I like to twist and expand the arc of the sentence. Ideally, there's an affinity here to the Surrealist impulse to expand the possible.i” Critic Stephen Burt compared Gordon’s poetry to “non-naturalistic theater, abstract drawing, [and] German visionary writing.ii” Often syntactically complex, while still driven by an underlining musicality, his prose poetry has been described as playing “freely in the realm between theory and lyric.iii” From book to book, Gordon has continually shifted gears, melding the influences of Dada and Language Poetry’s sometimes non-referential mode with that of New York School humor and the Objectivists’ attention to sound. |
