This is the first comprehensive critical edition of the unpublished writings of Pulitzer Prize-winning objectivist poet George Oppen (1908-1984). Editor Stephen Cope has made a judicious selection of Oppen's extant writings outside of poetry, including the essay "The Mind's Own Place" as well as "Twenty-Six Fragments," which were found on the wall of Oppen's study after his death. Most notable are Oppen's "Daybooks," composed in the decade following his return to poetry in 1958. "Selected Prose, Daybooks, and Papers" is an inspiring portrait of this essential writer and a testament to the creative process itself.
"A book that will undoubtedly deepen readers' experience and understanding of Oppen, and broaden the scope of Oppen scholarship." -- Joseph Bradshaw Rain Taxi Review Of Books "Carefully transcribed and annotated... Cope's book is well organized and makes an admirably clear text for readers." Times Literary Supplement (TLS)
