Charles Olson

    27. prosinec 1910 – 10. leden 1970

    Charles Olson, považovaný za klíčovou postavu amerického modernismu druhé generace, propojil rané modernistické velikány s vlnou Nových amerických básníků. Jeho vliv rezonuje napříč mnoha postmoderními proudy, kde je často vnímán jako předchůdce. Sám sebe popisoval ne jako spisovatele, ale jako „archeologa jitra“, což naznačuje jeho hluboký zájem o původ a podstatu tvorby. Olson volal po poezii založené na dechu a přirozeném rytmu, která by se vymanila ze spárů syntaxe a logiky, jak demonstroval ve svých komplexních dílech zkoumajících společenské a historické otázky.

      The New American Poetry Revised - Edited and With a New Preface by Donald Allen and George F. Butterick

      This anthology includes many of the major poets to have emerged and gained pre-eminence since World War II, and whose writing reflects not only the significant changes in this nation’s postwar history, and the coming to grips with a nuclear age, but also an entirely new way of looking at and structuring reality. United by their “postmodernist” concerns with spontaneity, “instantism,” formal and syntactic flexibility, and the revelation of both the creator and the process through the writing itself, these 38 poets represent very diverse strains of an essential American individualism. Included are many of the poets whose work first gained widespread national attention with the 1960 publication of The New American Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Blackburn, LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Denise Levertov, Robert Duncan, and others. Among the poets included here for the first time are Anne Waldman, Diane di Prima, Ed Sanders, Jerome Rothenberg, and James Koller. In addition to a new preface by Allen and Butterick, the book provides autobiographical notes of all the poets and listings of their major works.
