This is a response to the 'standard' biography of Charles Olson, the influential post-war American poet. It's certainly of interest to readers of Olson, even if you haven't read Clark's biography; it's shorter and much better written than that book. Maud probably goes too easy on him - it veers into hagiography at times - but much better that than whatever the opposite is. Good readings of some of the poems, too.

Stars are not my thing. Fascinating minutia. Worthwhile for some original documents not available to nonscholars. And great photographs. Maud loves CO as much as TC dislikes him. Somewhere in the middle an actual man emerges. Who was after all a major poet.
