Praised by his contemporaries and emulated by his successors, Charles Olson (1910-1970) was declared by William Carlos Williams to be “a major poet with a sweep of understanding of the world, a feeling for other men that staggers me.” This complete edition brings together the three volumes of Olson’s long poem (originally published in 1960, 1968, and 1975) in an authoritative version.
