| Shrnutí: | This article focuses on the international reception of American Language Poetry. We analyze and document how special sections or issues of journals, poetry centers and conferences in Australia, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom have been definitive in the dissemination of this kind of poetry outside United States. Rather than an Americanization of other poetries, the collaboration on translations and sharing of editorial projects in diverse countries asserted a spirit of multiple-way conversation that appealed for a world poetry awakening. Interestingly, most editors and publishers were also authors, pointing out just how fundamental has been the use of various means of production and interactive collaboration in the diffusion of contemporary poetry. Common sources of inspiration were drawn from other disciplines such as social theory, philosophy, and linguistics generated at both sides of the Atlantic, and beyond. Indeed, this cosmopolitan strategy has strengthened innovative American poetry, and grounded reciprocal influence and poetic avant-garde explorations in many parts of the world in late 20th- and early 21st-century. |
