Charles Olson & Robert Creeley: The Complete Correspondence: Volume 8

Charles Olson called his letters with Robert Creeley "perhaps the most important correspondence of my life."

Through personal narrative and critique of individual poems, the nearly 1000 letters that passed between Olson and Creely parse the evolution of their generation's poetics. Meticulously collected and edited by George F. Butterick and, later, Richard Blevins, these ten volumes stand as priceless testament to an entire era of the American word.
