First Sentence

"A kind in glass and a cousin, a spectacle and nothing strange a single hurt color and an arrangement in a system to pointing."

Description

Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons: Objects, Food, Rooms from 1914 is a poetic exploration of words - clustered, juxtaposed, redefined and played off one another - to subterfuge their common meanings, which Stein felt had become watered down, and to re-infuse them with expressive force.
