Hi Stephen
Thanks for that report - Oppen is one poet I have been meaning to read more
of for years, I have always admired his sense of commitment -
Yes, maybe poets are a detox treatment for language. I'm curious to know
what Antin's criticisms of Oppen's love lyrics are - I can absolutely read
love poems as crucial interventions in a political sphere -
All the best
A
