Stonybrk













Note: this unpublished typescript of ‘The Stony Brook’ was sent by
George Oppen in 1968-9 to Walter Hamady of the Perishable Press as part
of a five page manuscript for the book Alpine (1969).  Oppen
made revisions to the poem and re-titled it ‘The Song’ (see Oppen’s New
Collected Poems,
p. 299 for text of the final version).  Reproduced
