For Charles Olson, letters were not only a daily means of
communication with friends but were at the same time a vehicle for
exploratory thought. In fact, many of Olson's finest works,
including "Projective Verse" and the "Maximus Poems, " were
formulated as letters. Olson's letters are important to an
understanding of his definition of the postmodern, and through the
play of mind exhibited here we recognize him as one of the vital
thinkers of the twentieth century.
In this volume, edited and annotated by Ralph Maud, we see Olson at
the height of his powers and also at his most human. Nearly 200
letters, selected from a known 3,000, demonstrate the wide range of
Olson's interests and the depth of his concern for the future. Maud
includes letters to friends and loved ones, job and grant
applications, letters of recommendation, and Black Mountain College
business letters, as well as correspondence illuminating Olson's
poetics. As we read through the letters, which span the years from
1931, when Olson was an undergraduate, to his death in 1970, a
fascinating portrait of this complex poet and thinker emerges.
