Tom Mandel (b. 1942) is a poet whose work is associated with the Language (or L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E) group of poets. Lyn Hejinian (b. 1941) is a poet, essayist, and publisher whose work is also part of the Language poetry movement. She is considered one of the group's founders. Hejinian also founded the Tuumba Press. Language poetry first came about during the 1960s and 1970s as an avant-garde, postmodernist movement. Language poems are considered unconventional and are often known for their emphasis on conveying the meaning of the poem, their disjunctive structure, and the immateriality of the speaker and specifier. Excerpt from the poem: "Control the convention then perpetrate the tratence then perpede furred to any poor hil hop for mac hifj outer quarters crys formference in Af co ad b Eu va i porc Varzo ca-pr-ici-ous cannot well be helped, and more peristent, none, most with the disturbance.
