tender buttons — gertrude stein

4 stars

Prob­a­bly one of the strangest poetry you will come across in your life from one of the great­est mod­ernist exper­i­menters. Influ­enced by Picasso’s cubism, Stein takes on the lan­guage. She plays with words, with their rhythm and mean­ing with rep­e­ti­tion as her major tech­nique to under­mine the time sense and mem­ory of all language-users.

See what her work does to you. You may hate it, you may love it, but it cer­tainly will do something.
