Product Description
This is the first comprehensive critical edition of the unpublished writings of Pulitzer Prize-winning objectivist poet George Oppen (1908-1984). Editor Stephen Cope has made a judicious selection of Oppen's extant writings outside of poetry, including the essay "The Mind's Own Place" as well as "Twenty-Six Fragments," which were found on the wall of Oppen's study after his death. Most notable are Oppen's "Daybooks," composed in the decade following his return to poetry in 1958. Selected Prose, Daybooks, and Papers is an inspiring portrait of this essential writer and a testament to the creative process itself.

I feel privileged whenever I pick this book up - to be allowed to see into the mind of this serious poet/thinker - to get glimpses into his struggle, his creative process - to move along with him as he searches, delves, makes thought, makes sentences, finds lines for poems: a wonder. There's no one like Oppen. I suspect his work and his mind are for a particular palate - if you are drawn to him, this book is a must.
