 Ethnopoetics names an informal movement in poetry and scholarship dating to the late 1960s but has come more broadly to designate writing that reflects a heightened awareness of the artfulness of oral and traditional poetries and the ways in which diverse verbal arts illuminate world cultures; this writing can also reflect innovative theorizing and representational practices, including transcription/translation.  Coined by Jerome Rothenberg, //ethnopoetics// involves collaborations among poets, storytellers, singers, anthropologists, translators, linguists, and literary scholars. Ethnopoetics names an informal movement in poetry and scholarship dating to the late 1960s but has come more broadly to designate writing that reflects a heightened awareness of the artfulness of oral and traditional poetries and the ways in which diverse verbal arts illuminate world cultures; this writing can also reflect innovative theorizing and representational practices, including transcription/translation.  Coined by Jerome Rothenberg, //ethnopoetics// involves collaborations among poets, storytellers, singers, anthropologists, translators, linguists, and literary scholars.

-On the launch of the Alcheringa reissue in 2010, Dennis Tedlock wrote:  
- 
-"// An interest in cultural others has returned to humanities departments under the rubric of Cultural Studies, but the favored others are close at hand, already living inside the metropolis. . . . . Ancient texts, many of them in nonalphabetic scripts and some of them newly discovered, stand in need of translations that do more than recast them in familiar alphabetic forms. Ethnographic reports are filled with texts that have yet to be treated as poetry and retranslated as such, and many recordings made in the field have yet to receive the close listening required for transcriptions and translations that pay attention to sound. Nearby and far away, contemporary poets continue to speak, sing, and write in hundreds of languages that are neither colonial nor sanctioned by national governments.//"
