George Oppen's New Collected Poems gathers in one volume all of the
poet's books published in his lifetime (1908-84), as well as his
previously uncollected poems and a selection of his unpublished
work. Oppen, whose writing was championed by Ezra Pound when it was
first published by The Objectivist Press in the 1930s, has become
one of America's most admired poets. In 1969 he won a Pulitzer
Prize for his collection Of Being Numerous, which The New Yorker
recently said is "unmatched by any book of American poetry since."
The New Collected Poems is edited by Michael Davidson of the
University of California at San Diego, who also writes an
introduction about the poet's life and work and supplies generous
notes that will give interested readers an understanding of the
background of the individual books as well as keys to references in
the poems. The award-winning essayist and translator Eliot
Weinberger offers a personal remembrance of the poet in his
preface, "Oppen Then." This newly revised paperback edition also
includes a generous CD of the poet reading from each of his poetry
collections.
