Speaking with George Oppen: Interviews with the Poet and Mary Oppen, 1968-1987<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0 Ed. Richard Swigg.<\/p>\n

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 poet\u2019s evolution, through the Depression, war, exile and a return to poetry after two decades of silence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
