Charles Olson (1910-70) believed that poetry exists in an 'open field' through which the poet transmits energy to the receptive reader. Olson's influence on the development of British and American poetry through his writing and teaching is immense. His work encompasses myth, history, scholarship and politics, grand theories and delight in the particular variousness of life, all marked by the curiosity and openness to experience that he asked of his readers. Olson grew up and returned to live in the seafaring town of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and it was from the life and language of its citizens that his poetry drew its strengths.
The Reader includes extracts from the full range of Olson's poetry and prose, including letters, interviews and the full text of the key essay 'Projective Verse'. Ralph Maud, a colleague of Olson's from 1963-5 and the editor of Olson's letters, has supplied an introduction, supporting illustrations, notes and bibliography to this essential resource.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Charles Olson (1910-70) is credited with inventing the term 'post-modern'. Father of the Projectivist movement and one of the great teachers of his age, he is also one of its great poets, a writer whose work has had an abiding impact on radical currents of American and British poetry. The son of working-class immigrants, Olson grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts, north of Boston, on the sea, and Gloucester is at the heart of his mature poetry. He studied at Harvard and, after working for the Roosevelt government during the war, taught at Black Mountain College, North Carolina. As rector of the college in the early 1950s he attracted creative artists and spearheaded the campaign against the New Criticism. A number of important artists and writers were associated with Black Mountain: De Kooning, Kline and Rauschenberg, John Cage, John Dewey. Robert Creeley's Black Mountain Review was an ambitious magazine. Poetry, Olson says, is an 'open field' through which the poet transfers energy to the reader - but only the reader who is prepared, and preparation involves opening the ear and clearing it of the conditionings of traditional verse and prejudices of preconception.'Yes, yes, we must, must, must get rid of the drama, at all costs - I mean, even get rid of narrative - the temptation, you hear'? The source of the poem is the body and being of the poet, the poem should engage the body and being of the reader. This Reader draws on the full range of Olson's poetry. It includes extracts from his prose, including the essay on Projectivism, memoirs, letters and other vital material, and some key photographs. Charles Olson's influence on the development of British and American poetry through his writing and teaching is immense. His work encompasses myth, history, scholarship and politics. This book includes extracts from a range of Olson's poetry and prose, including letters, interviews and the full text of the key essay 'Projective Verse'.
