Frases de Charles Olson

Charles Olson , es un poeta norteamericano fundamental para comprender la poesía de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Olson estableció un puente crucial entre el modernismo representando por Ezra Pound y William Carlos Williams y lo que se ha denominado como The New American Poets, una rúbrica que incluye a la New York School, a los poetas de Black Mountain, a la generación Beat y al San Francisco Renaissance. En consecuencia, muchos grupos poéticos postmodernos, los poetas del Language School entre ellos, incluyen a Olson como una figura fundamental y esencial de la poesía. Al otro lado del Atlántico, estas corrientes poéticas diversas han ejercido y ejercen una influencia notable en un grupo importante de escritores alternativos y experimentales como Roy Fisher, Geoffrey Hill, JH Prynne and Edwin Morgan, detrás de los cuales puede distinguirse claramente el lenguaje moderno y creativo de Olson.

Olson popularizó el término postmoderno, ya acuñado por Federico de Onís, en una carta fechada en 1949 a su amigo y poeta Robert Creeley. Desde entonces el término ha sido utilizado por muchos autores pero él fue el primero en usar la palabra, fuera del ámbito literario, en un sentido literal y cronológico, queriendo significar que el propio Olson, Creeley y otros artistas de su época habían llegado después de grandes modernistas como Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, D.H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Igor Stravinsky, Georgia O'Keefe, Frida Kahlo, Kandinsky, Picasso, Marsden Hartley, D. W. Griffith, Frank Lloyd Wright, etc. Wikipedia

Charles Olson: Frases en inglés

“Not one death but many,
not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
the law
Into the same river no man steps twice
When fire dies air dies
No one remains, nor is, one
Around an appearance, one common model, we grow up
many. Else how is it,
if we remain the same,
we take pleasure now
in what we did not take pleasure before? love
contrary objects? admire and / or find fault? use
other words, feel other passions, have
nor figure, appearance, disposition, tissue
the same?
To be in different states without a change
is not a possibility”

communication and / or control, both involve
the message. And what is the message? The message is
a discrete or continuous sequence of measurable events distributed in time is the birth of the air, is
the birth of water, is
a state between
the origin and
the end, between
birth and the beginning of
another fetid nest is change, presents
no more than itself And the too strong grasping of it,
when it is pressed together and condensed,
loses it This very thing you are

“Whatever you have to say, leave
The roots on, let them
Dangle

And the dirt

Just to make clear
Where they come from.”

“And all now is war
Where so lately there was peace,
and the sweet brotherhood, the use
of tilled fields.”

The Kingfishers (1950)

“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 Kingfishers (1950)

“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.”

what cost in gesture justice brings
what wrongs domestic rights involve
