Charles Olson · 1975 · Vinyl-Lp · GB · FL 9738

The poems by Charles Olson on this collection—recorded by author Barry Miles—remained unrecorded until 1970 and thereafter released on Folkways Records in 1975. Recorded over two nights, Olson, a former Black Mountain College professor, read from his recently published “Maximus Poems IV, V, VI.” Liner notes by Miles include a brief Olson bio and notes on the recording.
