Charles Olson Bücher
Charles Olson, eine Schlüsselfigur der zweiten Generation des amerikanischen Modernismus, verband frühe modernistisch Größen mit den New American Poets und beeinflusste nachfolgende postmoderne Strömungen. Er selbst beschrieb sich nicht so sehr als Dichter, sondern als "Archäologe des Morgens", was auf ein tiefes Interesse an Ursprüngen und Schöpfung hindeutet. Olson forderte ein metrisches System in der Poesie, das auf dem Atem des Dichters und natürlichen Rhythmen basiert und sich von den Fesseln der Syntax und Logik befreit. Seine komplexen Werke erforschen oft soziale, historische und politische Themen, während seine kürzeren Gedichte eine aufrichtige, zugängliche und emotional berührende Stimme offenbaren.

The Postmoderns
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.
