Review from previous edition ...an important book...subtly probing book... Edward Neill MLR ...a fresh and engaging study of Oppen's work, his life and his relationship with the Objectivist movement...One of the strengths of this book is its extensive use of unpublished materials...It also provides a compelling rereading of Objectivism through Oppen's own continual reassessment of its usefulness as a term.
