A selection of innovative poems by the groundbreaking Pulitzer Prize winner. The Selected Poems is a unique selection of Oppen's work from the seven books he published during his lifetime. Edited by one of our most respected contemporary poets, Robert Creeley, who provides an informative introduction, George Oppen's Selected Poems includes Oppen's only known essay, "A Mind's Own Place," as well as "Twenty-Six Fragments" which Oppen wrote on envelopes and scraps of paper and posted to his wall, edited by Stephen Cope. Also incorporated is a helpful chronology and bibliography of his writings by Rachel Blau DuPlessis, celebrated editor of Oppen's letters. On his death, Hugh Kenner wrote, "George Oppen, gentlest of men...prized what took time, found the grain of materials, exacted accuracy." Oppen's Selected Poems is the perfect text for teaching and a remarkable window into a world of lasting light and clarity.

Industry Reviews

"In 1934, (Oppen) published a book of stunning, elliptical lyrics about "big-Business" and American capita ism.... His Pulitzer Prize-winning collection Of Being Numerous, published in 1968 (is) to a degree unmatched by any book of American poetry since."
