Poems in the Amtrak Station

By Teri Rife in Winter Reading 2022 on 24/01/2022

Well, gotta love the idea of poems in the Amtrak Station but zowie, January 2022 is dedicated to Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons! Read about it here: https://www.flowchartfoundation.org/amtrak-poetry

I have adored “A Long Dress.” for many a ModPo year. I’ve read OBJECTS, FOOD, and some of ROOMS in my own copy of Tender Buttons (The Centennial Edition); I have to say I really dig this excerpt from ROOMS.

  I’ve since noticed that these poems stay for at least two months, so twice the Stein–or more.

Ah, what a gift. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Teri. Twice the Stein – or more. Yes to that.
