Edited by poet and scholar Ryan Dobran, this volume of
correspondence between the American poet Charles Olson (1910-1970)
and the English poet J. H. Prynne (b. 1936) sheds light on a
little-known but incredibly influential aspect of twentieth-century
transatlantic literary culture. Never before published, the letters
capture their shared passion for knowledge as well as their
distinct writing styles. Written between 1961 and Olson's death in
1970, the letters display the mutual admiration and intimacy that
developed between the two poets after Prynne initiated their
exchange when pursuing work for the literary magazine Prospect.
This work illustrates how Olson and Prynne influenced each other,
and it represents an important step toward understanding their
contributions to poetics on both sides of the Atlantic.
