Charles Bernstein is a leading American Language Poet, and his poetry has been one of the most important voices in American poetry. He is Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Emeritus, at the University of Pennsylvania and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His poetry has a unique postmodern style, reflecting his echopoetics and the pataquerical inquiry that he advocates. Conducted in November 2021 via email, this interview focuses on the subtle relationship between Chinese Zen-Taoism philosophy and echopoetics, and the multiple connotations of nothingness,emptiness, noise,and silence in his poems. In addition, there is a thorough discussion of his latest works, the relationship between his poetry and visual art, the role of humor and irony in postmodern Language Poetry, and the poetic concept of the pataquerical. His illuminating answers demonstrate his concepts of aesthetics and echopoetics, ruminating not only the collision of the differences, but also the implicit resonance between the Eastern and Western poetics.
