SEASCAPE: NEEDLES EYE by George Oppen
The Sumac Press, 1972 First edition, 37 pp., 5" X 8", Softcover
Very good with a touch of soiling/edgewear
Oppen’s spare poems “are tightly wrought meditations,” according to Paul Zweig of Partisan Review, “which do not so much define as surround their subject with tentative thrusts of meaning. Abstractions and carefully observed details mingle to produce a line that is almost sculptural in its precision.”
