Ray Truett, a representative of the “West Coast Language Poets” of America and winner of the “2012 Pulitzer Poetic Prize”, ranks among the best contemporary American poets with her deeply philosophic poems in pioneering and differentiating style. In her poems, Truett likes parts and pieces by putting together by some astonishing means varieties of unrelated and even mutuallyconflicting sounds from different contexts to reveal the unreliability of those socalled selfevident ideas, characteristic of original expression of emotion, homophony and openness. Her distinct poetic view and clearcut characteristics of writing owe much to her query into the view of “nondeixis”, her aesthetic pursuit of “poetic blank”, her worship for the “rivaling room” in Chelsea’s poetics, and her “pseudopatching” technique of writing.
