Sept. 7, 2007 — The American Sentence is a form created by Allen Ginsberg. I’ve decided to write American Sentences as frequently as possible and share them on this blog.
But what are American Sentences, exactly?
If you think of a single sentence of 17 syllables that is based on direct observation and that maximizes what is conveyed in those 17 syllables, you’ll be on the right track. There’s more to it than that, of course, and I am just starting out myself, so I don’t have all the details.
So to learn more about American Sentences, why don’t you visit Paul Nelson’s blog, American Sentences.
And to find my American Sentences, just check out my American Sentences category.
