Gertrude Stein 
Tender Buttons 
Objects

First published in 1914, Gertrude Stein’s revolutionary poetic work
Tender Buttons 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.
