    A c k n o w l e d g m e n t s In the course of my research, Robert Duncan’s friends, without exception, granted me a share in the generosity, goodwill, and love for life that so char- acterized his being. Two people made a special eff ort to help me understand Robert Duncan’s “dailiness,” and their insights were key factors in the making of this book. Jess Collins agreed that it was an appropriate time for a biography of Duncan to be written, and he welcomed me into his life for a little bit over a de cade, allowing me to experience the rituals of house hold that he had shared with Duncan. Barbara Jones and her family in Bakersfi eld, California, extended me great hospitality. Barbara’s memories of her brother as a child and of their life in the San Joaquin Valley were in all ways illuminating. Th eir insights were key factors in the making of this book. Th is book was also made possible through the ongoing tireless support of my husband, Th omas Evans. His own studies of Jess, Duncan, and the West Coast assemblage artists contributed at every turn to the thoroughness of this book. His companionship allows me to live in a house hold as rich as Jess and Duncan’s. I am grateful to Robert Duncan’s friends, family, students and acquaintances: Gerald Ackerman, Robert Adamson, the late Virginia Admiral, Charles Alexander, the late Donald Allen, Michael Anania, Bruce Andrews, Norman Austin, Todd Baron, Dawn Michelle Baude, Tosh Berman, Charles Bern- stein, Robert Bertholf, the late Robin Blaser, Richard Blevins, George Bower- ing, the late Stan Brakhage, the late David Bromige, the late James Brough- ton, the late Norman O.

  • Robert Creeley's Writing/Reading of Wallace Stevens
    The University of San Francisco USF Scholarship: a digital repository @ Gleeson Library | Geschke Center Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Gleeson Library | Geschke Center Scholarship 2011 “A consistently useful measure”: Robert Creeley’s Writing/Reading of Wallace Stevens Patrick James Dunagan Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.usfca.edu/librarian Part of the Poetry Commons Fulcrum 7 (2011) “A consistently useful measure”1: Robert Creeley’s Writing/Reading of Wallace Stevens Patrick James Dunagan While William Carlos Williams is the immediate literary predecessor often associated with having early influence on the work of Robert Creeley, Wallace Stevens, beginning in Creeley’s first letters in the early 1950s to the poet Charles Olson, and re-emerging in his later work, makes several appearances in the printed record. References to Stevens culminate in the final section of Creeley’s long poem “Histoire de Florida,” published in 1996, the beginning of the last decade of his life, where lines from Stevens’ “Anecdote of the Jar” (a poem which, as will be shown, remained central to Creeley throughout his life) are quoted alternating with Creeley’s own. Although, as Creeley admits, “much of [his] own initial writing, both prose and poetry, used Stevens as a model” (“The the” 121), the earliest direct reference in poetry does not appear until decades later with his poem “For John Duff” out of his collection Later published in 1979, which summons from the very same Stevens poem the line “I placed a jar in Tennessee. .” as an initiating stance (Collected 169). These references to Stevens in Creeley’s work expand and reflect on Creeley’s belief that, as he put it, “Stevens, in Williams’ phrase, thought with his poem” (“In Respect” 50).

  • Spatial Poetics, Proprioception and Caring for Country in Charles Olson’S the Maximus Poems
    Spatial Poetics, Proprioception and Caring for Country in Charles Olson’s The Maximus Poems by Nathanael Finbar Pree 27th June, 2017 A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © 2017 Nathanael Finbar Pree All Rights Reserved Statement of Authorship and Originality I certify that this thesis has been written by me, and reserve my rights as the author of this work.

I certify that the work in this thesis has not been previously submitted, whole or in part, for the requirements of any other degree. Nathanael Finbar Pree 27th June 2017 ii Spatial Poetics, Proprioception and Caring for Country in Charles Olson’s The Maximus Poems Abstract This thesis looks at the significance of space and place within Charles Olson’s poetics of the archaic postmodern, as a means of clearing a field within which a poetics of custodianship is enunciated. It applies and extends the concept of “nomadology”, formulated by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, to argue that Olson’s protagonist in The Maximus Poems can be seen as an exemplification of Pierre Joris’ concept of “a nomad poetics”. Olson’s triad of “topos, typos and tropos” helps structure the thesis and provides a means to approach and explain the Maximus gestalt as human geography: an organic entity arising from and embodying space in order to redefine place.

Introduction On at least four separate recorded occasions, while reflecting on his period of tenure at Black Mountain College, Charles Olson referred to the significance of Abstract Expressionist painting. Describing the writer Herman Melville who ‘as an American was a first practicer’ making ‘the first art of space’, Olson writes in Chicago Review that: He [Melville] was already aware of the complementarity of each of two pairs of how we know and present the real – image & object, action & subject – both of which have paid off so decisively since.

Photograph by Don Byrd of Susan Quasha and Robert Duncan being photographed by George Quasha at Olana, Frederic Church’s estate in Hudson, N.Y., ca. 1984. “At a time when poetics—especially that of the difficult sort dealt with here—has been increasingly pushed to the margins of academic discourse, Don Byrd has come forward with a tour de force that both argues and enacts the bearing of poetic knowledge upon the issues and debates tending to displace it. He not only offers astute, illuminating readings of work by Stein, Zukofsky, Duncan, Olson, and others, but goes to great lengths to map the ground—intellectual, historical, technological, phenomenological—that makes these works matter. Such ground makes his own undertaking on behalf of poetic knowledge purposeful and necessary, and his mapping of it is not only informed, sophisticated and intellectually stunning but passionate and compelling as well.” — Nathaniel Mackey on Don Byrd’s The Poetics of the Common Knowledge .

Cross-Influences: Creeley and Philip Guston 5. ‘Numbers’: Creeley and Frank Stella – Formal Issues 6. ‘Numbers’: Creeley and Robert Indiana – Collaboration 213 1. Introduction Robert Creeley considered his contact with Charles Olson as highly influential on the progress and refinement of his poetics, providing him with ‘access at last to a way of thinking of the process of writing that made both the thing said and the way of saying it an integral event’.1 It is evident from the poetic and painterly ideas as well as the compositional principles Creeley often expressed in his ‘quick graphs’ and ‘notes’ on artists, that in Abstract Expressionism and the new American painting that followed, he clearly recognized and identified with an active, open-ended process of self- realization. The use he made of this influence is most plainly apparent when he says of poetic practice that ‘one proceeds from the immediate and the particular – this is where the universal is to be embodied, if anywhere’.2 Creeley’s collaborations in particular gave him the opportunity to expand his creative energy.

  • The Material Imagination: Poetic Itineraries from Bradstreet To
    THE MATERIAL IMAGINATION: POETIC ITINERARIES FROM BRADSTREET TO OLSON by JOSHUA S. HUSSEY (Under the Direction of DOUGLAS ANDERSON) ABSTRACT This study considers Anne Bradstreet, Jonathan Edwards, and Charles Olson as poetic world-builders. It examines the diverse heterocosms—alternate universes—that these writers construct by bridging the gap between an external, material world and the abstract, sense-driven world of the interior. By considering language as an objective technology, this project looks at language as micro-systems that evolve over time. By studying these micro-systems of language, we can begin to describe states of being as they are rendered through poetry. The chapter on Anne Bradstreet considers her public and private poems as the beginnings of lyric poetry in America, and I argue that the rhetoric of her private poems, meant as a kind of archive for her family, follow the guidelines for meditation put forth by St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises. Along the same lines, the chapter on Jonathan Edwards considers his scientific essays and the posthumous Images or Shadows of Divine Things as spiritual lexicography, as a method of categorizing and defining worldly phenomena. This should interest anyone with knowledge of eighteenth-century Calvinism as it describes Edwards’ deep investment in the physical world, an uncommon assumption for his perspective. Lastly, the chapter on postwar poet Charles Olson describes his work through the work of George Butterick, the curator of the Olson Collection at the University of Connecticut in the 1970s and 1980s. Butterick is responsible for The Guide to the Maximus Poems (1981) which considers Olson’s Maximus Poems as an archival storehouse and textually links to the more esoteric references in order to explain them.
