Description: 1980-1983. Paperback variants. 8vo. Wrappers. 160pp.-222pp. The first five volumes of ten, covering just over a year from April 1950 - an indication of how extensive the correspondence was. When it began, Olson had not quite completed his 'Projective Verse' essay, and he had not written his first Maximus poem; Creeley was primarily a story writer, seeking to be a man of letters. Within the first four months, though, Olson told a friend: 'Creeley and I have since engaged in perhaps the most important correspondence of my life.' Olson would come to term Creeley 'The Figure of Outward', the man who gave him 'the world', while Creeley found Olson's letters to be 'of such energy and calculation that they constituted a practical "college" of stimulus and information'. Small number of basic annotations, otherwise Very Good overall, with some spotting to edges and light soiling to wrappers.
