Alison, I highly recommend the latest collection:
George Oppen: New Collected Poems
Publisher: New Directions Publishing Corporation (February, 2002)
ISBN: 0811214885
From Publishers Weekly
A Modernist who was part of the Objectivist group that included Charles
Reznikoff, Louis Zukofsky and Carl Rakosi, George Oppen (1908-1984) won a
Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his masterpiece, Of Being Numerous. New Collected
Poems gathers that work, along with some missing from the 1975 Collected.
Edited by poet Michael Davidson, it includes Primitive (the last volume
Oppen published, in 1978) as well as previously unpublished work. Admirers
of Oppen's foundational volumes should be very pleased with this update.
