Speaking with George Oppen: Interviews with the Poet and Mary Oppen, 1968-1987 b

Description: Speaking with George Oppen by Richard Swigg Seventeen interviews with George and Mary Oppen, conducted between 1968 and 1987, are here brought together for the first time. Two are fresh discoveries, while re-audited recordings of other interviews have given a new authoritative accuracy to the text. These conversations provide a unique account of a major American poets evolution, through the Depression, war, exile and a return to poetry after two decades of silence. The discussions span Oppens early years as an Objectivist, his assessments of such as Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, and his views on the merits of his later contemporaries Allen Ginsberg, Jerome Rothenburg and others. Above all, it is Oppens detailed commentary on his own writing, and his explanations of how individual poems unfold, which gives special importance to these new collected interviews. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Richard Swigg,formerly senior lecturer in English at Keele University, is the author of several works of literary scholarship on such figures as Lawrence, Hardy, Williams, Eliot and has published the collected recordings of several poets.
