BEYOND GEOPOLITICS:

THE OPPENS REMEMBERED: Poetry, Politics, and Friendship
Edited by Rachel Blau DuPlessis

In this book the poets, editors, writers, composers, and teachers who knew the couple consider their encounters and relationships with George and Mary Oppen. 

"Sean Prentiss, an admirer of Abbey's work, wonders whether it might be possible to find the grave by retracing Abbey's life from his birthplace in Pennsylvania to the empty spaces of the American southwest. That notion sends him off on a two-year search, the result of which is a brilliant creative treat for us: a seeker's quest in which we learn about Abbey (the sought after) and Prentiss (the seeker).  It's a warm-hearted and elegantly written work and simply a joy to read.  And the grave? Does he find it? That's the best surprise of all."---   National Outdoor Book Awards
