Tender Buttons is a collection of poems written by Gertrude Stein, originally published in 1914. The book is divided into three sections: Objects, Food, and Rooms. Each section consists of a series of prose poems that focus on the everyday objects, food, and spaces that make up our lives. Stein's writing style is characterized by repetition, wordplay, and a focus on the sounds of language. Her poems often do not have a clear narrative or meaning, but instead create a sense of atmosphere and mood through the use of language. The Objects section of the book focuses on everyday objects such as a coat, a plate, and a chair. The Food section explores different types of food, such as meat, fish, and soup. The Rooms section describes various rooms in a house, including a bedroom, a kitchen, and a hallway. Tender Buttons is considered a landmark in modernist literature and has been praised for its experimental approach to language and form. The book has influenced numerous poets and writers, and continues to be studied and discussed by scholars and readers alike.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
