The Objectivist Press published George Oppen's first book Discrete
Series, a collection of thirty-one short poems with a preface by
Ezra Pound, in 1934. Four years earlier, the twenty-one-year-old
poet had sent an unbound sheaf of typewritten poems with the title
21 Poems hand-written in pencil on the first page to the poet Louis
Zukofsky, who forwarded them on to Pound in Paris. These poems,
suffused with Oppen's love for his young bride Mary, as well as his
love of sailing, are strikingly different from what they'd
eventually become in Discrete Series. The scholar David B. Hobbs
recently found 21 Poems buried in Ezra Pound's papers at Yale's
Beinecke Library, and they appear here as a collection of their own
for the first time.
