Lab #3: Transition and Gertrude Stein

I found Gertrude Stein in our 3rd lab! Okay, to be specific, I found a reprint of Gertrude Stein’s “Tender Buttons” after it had been out of print for many years. There were of course many more of her poems in here, but I only managed to get the first page, mostly because I wanted to emphasize the exact reasoning of why she was found here in the first place. Transitions (the magazine) wanted to revitalize one of her best works that had been seemingly gone for years, maybe as an attempt to keep her work alive and not be discarded as lost media. But I doubt that one of the best poets of all time would have forgotten work. Perhaps it was more solving the difficulty of accessing her work that hasn’t been printed in a while. Anyway, here’s Gertrude Stein:
