Imagining Persons - Robert Duncan's Lectures on Charles Olson

Robert Duncan's nine lectures on Charles Olson, delivered intermittently from 1961 to 1983, explore the modernist literary background and influences of Olson's influential 1950 essay "Projective Verse". These transcribed talks pay tribute to Olson and expand our knowledge of Duncan's vision of modernist writing.
