P1 first installment of Testimony compiled by R was published by OP
• Believers of Objectivism, a short-lived but influential offshoot of poetic modernism
• For objectivists, the poem was an object, not a report
• Rejected 19th romantic poets like W&S
• Feelings <= details and sound and appearance of words
P2 R continued to work on Testimony
• 1960s, two new volumes, after his death, two volumes
• Reshape documentary material into syncopated lines
• Third-person perspective, judicial opinion, words are words, not subjective experience and metaphor
• Judicial opinions as raw material => undercut traditional assumption
• Poem not only objective, but also taken from workday world
P3 testimony never forgets is judicial opinions the poet is expounding
• R’s most important innovation: public speech
• Impersonal language => emotionally poweful
