The Granite Pail

The Selected Poems of Lorine Niedecker

About this book

This edition was published in 1996 by Gnomon Press.

The Granite Pail is a masterful collection that showcases the poetic brilliance of one of America’s most underappreciated modernist poets. Known for its minimalist style and deep connection to the natural world, Niedecker’s work combines precision with emotional depth in poems that resonate long after they are read.

This volume brings together some of Niedecker’s finest poetry, illustrating her gift for capturing profound truths in the simplest of forms. With themes ranging from the intimate and domestic to the universal and ecological, her poems reflect a life deeply rooted in the landscapes of rural Wisconsin. From meditations on the passage of time to lyrical explorations of nature, The Granite Pail reveals the interplay between solitude, creativity, and the human condition.

Edited and introduced by Cid Corman, a champion of Niedecker’s work, the collection highlights her unique voice within the Objectivist tradition and her ability to create moments of beauty and insight with remarkable economy. This edition also provides context for her life and influences, shedding light on her artistic evolution and the lasting significance of her poetry.

For both longtime admirers and those new to Niedecker’s work, The Granite Pail offers an essential glimpse into the mind of a poet whose quiet brilliance continues to inspire readers and writers alike.
