After graduating from high school he attended MIT and then UC Berkeley , where he took an AB in Biochemistry in 1969. It was there he met poets Robert Grenier and Ron Silliman and studied with Josephine Miles , who recommended him to the Iowa Writers Workshop where he received an MFA in English (Program of Creative Writing) in 1972. Watten later returned to the Bay Area and began to form relations with some experimental writers who would become known as the Language School . This 'school' was not a group precisely, but a ''tendency'' in the work of many of its so-called practitioners (see article on Language Poets ). |
