Review Quotes
"In these two companion volumes (An Open Map and Imagining Persons) . . . the letters are complete, the lectures are beveled, and a nimble apparatus of introductions, notes, glossaries, bibliographies, and indices nearly half as long as the texts themselves collapses the distance between these documents' moment and our own."
--Jacket2"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
"Invaluable archival documents. . . . Those familiar with Duncan's essays will find in these lectures his characteristic syntactical complexity and conceptual denseness."--Eric Keenaghan, Journal of Modern Literature
