Opis

Draws on the unpublished writings of Charles Olson and situates his work in the context of contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, and music to tell the story of how American poets and artists reimagined art and literature for the post-war world.

Recenzje

Byers situates Olson's work in its broad artistic context, thus undertaking a task that had previously never been properly undertaken. Byers has now devoted an entire study to it — indeed, a necessary study, as his ample findings reveal ... Byers thus offers a well-written and balanced study in the burgeoning field of Olson Studies, while contributing to the history of postwar aesthetics.
