Book Synopsis
“Michael Davidson has done a masterful job of editing this new edition of the Collected Poems.... Few poets significantly alter and enhance the state of the art. Oppen is one of them.”—Michael Palmer, Bookforum

Trade Review
"A first rate edition of Oppen's poetry. His poetry serves as a model of modernist ethics as well as aesthetics." -- William Doreski - Harvard Review
"Valuable. Davidson's selection...is excellent: his choice of material is judicious and representative, and thankfully accompanied by enlightening explanatory notes." -- Eric Hoffman - Home Planet News
"He again and again earns the reader's admiration, again and again directs us towards unexpected linguistic and sensory insights." -- Marta Figlerowicz - The Harvard Book Review
"Oppen’s respect for the act of making, no matter how small, is at every moment palpable, and it infuses his work with sweetness that makes difficulty feel like life’s reward." -- James Longenbach - The Yale Review
