Selected Prose, Daybooks, and Papers

I feel privileged whenever I pick this book up - to be allowed to see into the mind of this serious poet/thinker - to get glimpses into his struggle, his creative process - to move along with him as he searches, delves, makes thought, makes sentences, finds lines for poems: a wonder. There's no one like Oppen. I suspect his work and his mind are for a particular palate - if you are drawn to him, this book is a must.
