<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>First published in 1914, Gertrude Stein's revolutionary poetic work <i>Tender Buttons</i> is a must-read for every serious lover of literature. Delighting in the rhythm of words, its first section, Objects, runs playful linguistic circles around teacups, ribbons, umbrellas, and other quotidian artifacts. Presented here in an exquisite small package, this new edition of Objects pairs Stein's avant-garde verse with colorful contemporary illustrations by indie art star Lisa Congdon, who illuminates and interrogates the classic Cubist text with visuals as capricious as Stein's own prose. A celebration of independent thinking old and new, this captivating marriage of image and text is a treasure of arts and letters.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An absolute joy from cover to cover. - Brain Pickings<br><br>I was instantly enamored with Tender Buttons: Objects-Stein's 1914 collection of avant-garde verses celebrating everyday objects in her signature style of semantic somersaults, brought to fresh life with Lisa Congdon's vibrant illustrations of birds, boxes, cups, clocks, umbrellas, and other ordinary objects made extraordinary. -Brain Pickings<br><br>It is hard to imagine ever growing tired of this book.
