{"product_id":"21-poems-9780811226912","title":"21 Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Objectivist Press published George Oppen's first book Discrete Series, a collection of thirty-one short poems with a preface by Ezra Pound, in 1934. Four years earlier, the twenty-one-year-old poet had sent an unbound sheaf of typewritten poems with the title \u003cem\u003e21 Poems\u003c\/em\u003e hand-written in pencil on the first page to the poet Louis Zukofsky, who forwarded them on to Pound in Paris. These poems, suffused with Oppen's love for his young bride Mary, as well as his love of sailing, are strikingly different from what they'd eventually become in \u003cem\u003eDiscrete Series\u003c\/em\u003e. The scholar David B. Hobbs recently found \u003cem\u003e21 Poems\u003c\/em\u003e buried in Ezra Pound's papers at Yale's Beinecke Library, and they appear here as a collection of their own for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811226912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.40d","brand":"George Oppen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45302222160053,"sku":"9780811226912","price":10.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e852a121-e1dc-4e82-8ebd-9def245f6d1e.jpg?v=1744724705","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/21-poems-9780811226912","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
