Tender Buttons

This edition of the legendary classic of 20th century prose poetry is the second single-volume English-language edition since its original publication in 1914 by Claire Marie [Donald Evans]. Photographed from the original pages of that first edition, this new printing reveals the original form and structure of Stein's great work. Stein's writing is as startlingly fresh as if published last month—or tomorrow. Here, objects, food, and rooms come into new perspective in Stein's wonderfully original language. Everywhere and everything in Tender Buttons is a delicious linguistic concoction.
