Charles Olson (27 December 1910 – 10 January 1970), was a second generation American modernist poet who was a crucial link between earlier figures like Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams and the New American poets, a rubric which includes the New York School, the Black Mountain School, the Beat poets, and the San Francisco Renaissance. Consequently, many postmodern groups, such as the poets of the Language School, include Olson as a primary and precedent figure. <a href="https://www.last.fm/

Quotes
- “What does not change / is the will to change”
- “When I saw him, he was at the door, but it did not matter, he was already sliding along the wall of the night, losing himself in some crack of the ruins. That it should have been he who said, “The kingfishers! who cares for their feathers now?” His last words had been, “The pool is slime.””
- “The legends are legends. Dead, hung up indoors, the kingfisher will not indicate a favoring wind, or avert the thunderbolt. Nor, by its nesting, still the waters, with the new year, for seven days. It is true, it does nest with the opening year, but not on the waters.”
- “And all now is war Where so lately there was peace, and the sweet brotherhood, the use of tilled fields.”
- “When the attentions change / the jungle leaps in even the stones are split they rive”
- “Not one death but many, not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is the law”
