This paper focuses on a gifted thinker whose poetic form is sometimes misunderstood, but rarely ignored - Gertrude Stein. It delves into the life of a courageous woman who was a lesbian at a time when there was no gay movement. This paper also examines the tremendous impact Steins' work and life had on two prominent modern poets, Susan Howe and Lyn Hejinian.
From the Paper:
"The first thing many beginning poetry students often hear with reference to Gertrude Stein is that she is "difficult" to read and comprehend. Plus, for some students and poetry aficionados, Gertrude's eroticism, feminism and lesbianism might be a bit much to swallow. But, the alert instructor can lead a student past those little speed bumps emerging from the difficulties of Gertrude's work, and into the light of day, to see that she really was presenting two abiding concerns through her artistry: a portrayal of the woman's experience, and the exploration of how it is we see and organize what we see."
