Synopsis Tender Buttons
Tender Buttonsáis a 1914 book by American writeráGertrude Steináconsisting of three sections titled "Objects", "Food", and "Rooms". While the short book consists of multiple poems covering the everyday mundane, Stein',s experimental use of language renders the poems unorthodox and their subjects unfamiliar. Stein began composition of the book in 1912 with multiple short prose poems in an effort to "create a word relationship between the word and the things seen" using a "realist" perspective. She then published it in three sections as her second book in 1914. Tender Buttonsáhas provoked divided critical responses since its publication. It is renowned for itsáModernistáapproach to portraying the everyday object and has been lauded as a "masterpiece of verbal Cubism".áIts first poem, "A Carafe, That Is a Blind Glass", is arguably its most famous, and is often cited as one of the quintessential works of Cubist literature. The book has also been, however, criticized as "a modernist triumph, a spectacular failure, a collection of confusing gibberish, and an intentional hoax".
