HEJINIAN, Lyn
My Life and My Life in the Nineties

Lyn Hejinian’s My Life is one of the foundational texts of Language Poetry. First published in 1980, and revised in 1987 and 2002, it is now firmly established in the postmodern canon. This edition includes the 45-part prose poem sequence along with a closely related ten-part work titled My Life in the Nineties.
