Description
Book SynopsisOffers a selection of Pulitzer Prize-winning objectivist poet George Oppen's extant writings outside of poetry, including the essay "The Mind's Own Place" and "Twenty-Six Fragments," which were found on the wall of Oppen's study after his death. This work presents an inspiring portrait of this writer and a testament to the creative process itself.
Trade Review"A book that will undoubtedly deepen readers' experience and understanding of Oppen, and broaden the scope of Oppen scholarship." -- Joseph Bradshaw Rain Taxi Review Of Books "Carefully transcribed and annotated... Cope's book is well organized and makes an admirably clear text for readers." Times Literary Supplement (TLS)
