Charles Olson Ralph Maud (59 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The highly influential yet undisclosed relationship between modern American poet Charles Olson (1910-1970) and Frances Boldereff comes to light in this first collection of their extensive, often impassioned, correspondence. What starts with a fan letter from the idiosyncratic intellectual Boldereff soon surges to an exchange numbering hundreds of pages. In these letters, one views the early stages of the Maximus poems and the developing poetics embodied in Olson's 1950 essay on Projective Verse. While this correspondence reveals much about the work and life of a man who became the dominant figure among the Black Mountain poets, Boldereff herself stands out as an extraordinary collaborator, occasional lover, and intellectual rival to Olson. Here are two great minds and creative spirits caught up in an exchange every bit as riveting as the letters of de Beauvoir and Sartre.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Charles Olsons insistence that the public value of any articulation is inseparable from the particulars of the time and place of its origins resulted in the proprioceptive methodology of his compositionin his speech and his writing, in both poetry and prose. Olson did not lecturehe talked. His encyclopedic knowledge of the subjects that interested him engaged in a manner always as surprising to himself as to his listeners. This element of discovery was to him a true measure of what is authentic in language, and it exhibits itself most in the impromptu exchanges of which Muthologos is mainly composed. Olson once de?ned Muthologos as what is said about what is said, which encompasses a breadth of discourse that would de?ne the near and far range of where the poets mind went in a lifetimes intent to go places. In this new compilation of Charles Olsons transcribed lectures and interviews, we ?nally get all of what is preserved of a life of talk, allowing Muthologos to stand, along with The Maximus Poems, Collected Poems, Collected Prose and Selected Letters as one of the standard texts of this great poets oeuvre.Ralph Mauds second edition of Muthologos, some thirty years after George Buttericks ?rst, adds several new items: At Goddard College, April 1962; a second Vancouver 1963 discussion, Duende, Muse, and Angel; a short addition to the BBC Interview; a second On Black Mountain; and a further hour of Olsons conversation with Herb Kenny. In addition, all the available tapes of these talks and interviews have been listened to again, and many of their previous transcription errors have been corrected. Textual notes to each piece identify these corrections, and also reveal the provenance of the tapes and the particular way in which each transcription was created. In this compilation of Olsons transcribed lectures and interviews, we get all that is preserved of a life of talk.
