by Gertrude Stein (Author)

Tender Buttons is a collection of poems written by Gertrude Stein, an American writer, in 1914. It is experimental in nature. In it, Stein describes common, everyday objects with adjectives that are not typically used in association with them. Each poem explores a different way of looking at a familiar object. The book is divided into three parts: Objects, Food, and Rooms.
