O knihe
This book offers a detailed look into the life and works of Pulitzer Prize?winning Jewish American poet George Oppen. Born in 1908 in New York, Oppen spent parts of his life working as a carpenter and running a furniture factory. Like his work, his poetry used basic materials; he favored short, simple nouns and focused on concrete objects rather than abstractions. This book examines the characteristics of Oppen's work, particularly his use of small and often odd phrasings and unusual line formations. The first three chapters delve into his primitive modes, language and materials. Subsequent chapters tackle his subjects: cityscapes, light and water, and animals and their relation to human history and struggles. His final collection of poems, Primitive, is examined in its own chapter, which is followed by an exploration of recurring specific phrases and concrete images. The author demonstrates how Oppen's poetry restores an essential dimension of communication and experience.
