Gertrude Stein and Laura Riding enjoyed a fascinating if brief
three-year friendship via correspondence between 1927 and 1930, and
in A Description of Acquaintance, Logan Esdale and Jane Malcolm
make the letters available to a larger audience for the first time.
Riding and Stein are important figures in twentieth-century poetry
and poetics and are considered progenitors of later movements such
as L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry. The editors contextualize their
relationship and its time period with an introduction; annotations
to the letters; and supplementary materials, including pieces by
Stein and Riding that exemplify their singular perspectives on
modernism as well as their personal poetics. The book provides
unique insight into Stein's and Riding's writing processes as well
as the larger literary world around them, making it a must-read for
anyone interested in twentieth-century poetry.
