Charles Olson: Letters Home 1949-1969

Edited by David Rich

This book, published in Olson’s centennial year, is a study in letters of Charles Olson and a sampling of ten people in Gloucester who were part of his circle: artists, writers, a publisher, a museum president, an inventor and an architect. Editor David Rich has taken the unusual step of arranging each chapter by correspondent and presenting both sides of each exchange when possible: the result is a group portrait, with Olson at the center of a vibrant literary and artistic scene.

Softcover, 150 pages, 6 x 0.5 x 8.75".
