From “The Ener­gies of Words,” Peter O’Leary’s his­tory of the famous 1931 “Objectivists” issue of Poetry:

For an issue that launched a move­ment, it’s not par­tic­u­larly mem­o­rable for its poetry, most of which was writ­ten by second-​rate poets who hap­pened to be friends of Zukof­sky, or by now canon­i­cal poets who are not regarded as Objec­tivists, such as Williams, Bunting, or Ken­neth Rexroth, a prog­en­i­tor of the San Fran­cisco Renais­sance in the 1950s.
