Description

Book Synopsis
Robert Duncan's nine lectures on Charles Olson, delivered intermittently from 1961 to 1983, explore the modernist literary background and influences of Olson's influential 1950 essay ""Projective Verse"". These transcribed talks pay tribute to Olson and expand our knowledge of Duncan's vision of modernist writing.

Trade Review
In these lectures, Duncan explores the meaning and context of Olson's poetry and dynamic presence as poet and innovator, while also providing a broader representation of poetry and thought, ancient and modern, delivered with wit, intelligence, curiosity, and care. Essential reading for anyone interested in . . . the work of two of the most important poets of the postwar period."" - Peter O'Leary, author of Gnostic Contagion: Robert Duncan and the Poetry of Illness
