Tender Buttons

Tender Buttons is a collection of prose poetry written by Gertrude Stein and first published in 1914. The book is divided into three sections: Objects, Food, and Rooms. Each section contains a series of short, abstract poems that explore the relationship between language and perception. The poems are characterized by their use of repetition, wordplay, and unconventional syntax. Stein's writing style has been described as both playful and challenging, as she often experiments with language in ways that defy traditional grammatical rules. The poems in Tender Buttons are often difficult to interpret, and have been the subject of much critical debate. Some readers have praised the book for its innovative approach to language and its ability to challenge conventional modes of thinking, while others have criticized it for its lack of coherence and accessibility. Despite its controversial reputation, Tender Buttons remains a landmark work of modernist literature and a testament to Stein's unique artistic vision.Out of kindness comes redness and out of rudeness comes rapid same question, out of an eye comes research, out of selection comes painful cattle. So then the order is that a white way of being round is something suggesting a pin and is it disappointing, it is not, it is so rudimentary to be analysed and see a fine substance strangely, it is so earnest to have a green point not to red but to point again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
