Summary
"Seventeen interviews with George and Mary Oppen, conducted between 1968 and 1987, are brought together for the first time. These conversations provide a unique account of a major American poet's evolution. It is Oppen's detailed commentary on his own writing, and his explanations of how individual poems unfold, which gives special importance to these new collected interviews"--Provided by publisher.
