Book Description:

For too long the essential basis of George Oppen's poetry--the words on the page and their acoustics--has been ignored in critical discussions of his work. Challenging this neglect, Richard Swigg offers the reader a direct route into the visual/auditory dimension of the poems as they develop from the 1930s to the 1970s.
