Rae Armantrout

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rae Armantrout (born 13 April 1947) is an American poet generally associated with the Language Poets.

Armantrout was born in Vallejo, California but grew up in San Diego. She has published eight books of poetry and has also featured in a number of major anthologies.

Armantrout was a member of the original West Coast Language group. However, unlike most of the group, her work is firmly grounded in experience of the local and domestic worlds and she is widely regarded as the most lyrical of the Language Poets.^{[citation needed]}

Armantrout teaches at the University of California, San Diego.
