Lyn Hejinian - My Life: An Autography

Lyn Hejinian's My Life, first published in 1980 and re-issued in 1987, has become a small "classic" of L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E poetry. In this work, Hejinian writes a self, rather than writing about or describing a self.

Here's an essay arguing for the reasons My Life has become popular in University classes about contemporary poetry.
