5.0 out of 5 stars tricky, 21 Nov 2008

By	Colin J. Herd "colin j herd" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New Collected Poems (Paperback)

I was recently at the Oppen conference in Edinburgh and Michael Davidson, who has done a fantastic job of editing this collection, gave a fascinating paper about 'class' issues in Oppen's poetry and poetics. He shone his beady torch straight at fascinating examples that really drew attention to the tensions paradoxes at the heart of this body of work.

George Oppen, one of the great poets associated with the Objectivist movement, writes with a spareness and stuttering rhythm that is made even more interesting by the big gap, or to use Rachel Blau Duplessis' term 'fold or crimp', in his career: Oppen did not write poetry for almost thirty years from the thirties till 1958. If you have never read his work then I suggest you take a punt on this book. To whet your voracious hungers: Artist.

' he breaks the silence
and yet he hesitates, half unwilling

something comes to his mind
it is something about something'

So aware of artists' self-absorption yet so self conscious itself, I can't get over how surprising, tense and intricate this poem, and the rest of Oppen's poetry, is.

This is a beautiful edition and comes with a CD of Oppen reading which is definitely not to be missed!!
