Tom Raworth’s Logbook (1976) is considered as the central poetic text of a period of experimentation with prose which ran from 1969–1972, but which had a dispersed publication history. Through consideration of Raworth’s role in a parodic issue of the late Sixties avant-garde magazine, The English Intelligencer, Logbook is shown to satirise prose itself as the formal medium of both academic discourse and imperial power, giving it affinities with the Language poetics of the ‘New Sentence’ in North America. Raworth’s dissatisfaction with the limitations of prose as a medium emerges through close-reading of the sequence’s comic and fragmentary rapidity.

汤姆·拉沃斯 (Tom Raworth) 的航海日志 (1976) 被认为是 1969 年至 1972 年间散文实验时期的核心诗歌文本，但其出版历史分散。通过考虑拉沃斯在 60 年代末前卫杂志《英国情报员》的讽刺问题中所扮演的角色，日志被证明是讽刺散文本身作为学术话语和帝国权力的正式媒介，使其与当时的语言诗学有密切关系。北美的“新句子”。拉沃斯对散文作为一种媒介的局限性的不满是通过仔细阅读序列的喜剧性和片断的快速性而显现出来的。
