Charles Olson

1910-12-27 — 1970-01-10 · Worcester

Charles Olson was an American poet, essayist, and academic, a central figure in post-World War II poetry. His work is marked by an intense exploration of individual experience and history, integrating philosophy and anthropology into verses that seek to capture the totality of being. Olson is often associated with Black Mountain College, where he taught and developed many of his theories on poetry, proposition, and perception. His legacy lies in redefining poetic practice, encouraging a more direct and visceral approach to language and reality, profoundly influencing generations of experimental poets.
