Saturation job? I haven't heard of Olson.
Charles Olson and black Mountain were an incalculably big influence on iain sinclair and other revival poets of 60s and 70s, like Barry macsweeney and Tom pickard. Big with prynne as well I think?
molecular does away with 'parts' and the 'collective'- free agents unrelated in all ways but proximity. Molar formations are the formations of molecular processes based on initial conditions and whatever 'accidents' happen along the way. Molar formations make 'parts' of the molecular, but that is not to say that within the molecular there was the vision of whatever molar formation would eventually come to make use of it.Still haven't gotten a real footing in the molar/molecular dichotomy, still a bit blurry. Molar seems to describe the non-divisible character of some collective, whereas molecular seems to describe a part of some collective, no?
And I guess I would be more inclined to understand understanding, rather than just push a particular understanding to some deep intensity. That said, the latter can be a means for the former, no? You can study your understanding by trying to understand some given topic.
The single most important influence on Prynne though there's a break fairly early on. The Olson Prynne letters are one of the best things I've read. Just in terms of setting fire to the imagination
cool cheers, i'll try check it out. black mountain are a real big one for a lot of peopleIf you want to get a taste of Olson read Projective Verse. It's a very short essay. Very exciting to read.
