Charles Olson: Letters Home 1949-1969

by David Rich (Editor)

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry History & Criticism. This book, published in Olson's centennial year, is a study in letters of Charles Olson and a sampling of ten people in Gloucester who were part of his artists, writers, a publisher, a museum president, an inventor, an architect. Editor David Rich has taken the unusual step of arranging each chapter by correspondent and presenting both sides of each exchange when the result is a group portrait, with Olson at the center, of a vibrant literary and artistic scene.
