"This issue focusses on the work of ten poets whose productions can be positioned in the vicinity of 'language poetry' ... Generator provides a forum for the presentation, intersection, and cross-fertilization of works of visual and language poetry. 'Visual Poetry' is here understood as language composition utilizing graphic imagery, or as a concentration on the visual aspects of language composition. 'Language Poetry' is understood as a concentration on the elements of language itself, such as grammar and syntax, as well as on the complex relations between language, text, reader, and that which is (posited as) external to them." - editorial statement
