The work explores singularities in one poet’s life, redeemed darkness, and an embodied love expressed as layered, stratographic permanence. It advances a metaphysical focus on the real, resisting sweeping system and instead sustaining an ongoing rhetoric pushed by high propulsive importance and what is invisible. Presented as Oppen’s fourth book, it emphasizes an irresistible voice and enduring metaphor of generations.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/of-being-numerous-read-online-free/418667/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/of-being-numerous-read-online-free/418667.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"moss~","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-31","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":52},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What

Of Being Numerous\n\nGeorge Oppen  \nOF BEINGNUMEROUSby George Oppen  \nGeorge Oppen in this book honors himselfand American poetry.The long title poemfor instance creates a world that is theproduct of brooding sight.What Oppensees he seizes.The singularities of onepoet's life reveal a darkness redeemed,em-body love like complex stratographic layers,the minerality of what lasts,the metaphorof the generations.He is a metaphysicianof the real,a metaphysician of fux and thethings of this world,and has freed himselfof systems of redemption.The rhetoric isnot sweeping,but ongoing,pushed by asense of high propulsive importance,thedeep feeling surfacing constantly;it comesinto view,pressured by what is invisible.What he gives us he may modify,with-draw,withhold,return to us:the voice isirresistible.This is Oppen's fourth booksince the early Thirties;few poetic careersin this time have absorbed so much andremained so identifiable.  \n-ARMAND ScHWERNER  \nJacket:from an etching by
