A book of poems by the American poet Barrett Watten (born October 3, 1948) in Russian translation has been published in Moscow. He is the editor of “This” magazine, one of the main publications of the language movement, and co-editor of the “Poetry Journal”. In Russia, his book was published by the independent publishing house "Polyphemus", and compiled by Vladimir Feshchenko. I hope to get to the presentation of this book on Friday.
