Description
Black Mountain Poems: An Anthology brings together a selection of poetry from one of the most influential creative movements of the 20th century. Founded in 1933, Black Mountain College was a hub for artistic innovation and experimentation.
The college's interdisciplinary approach to art and craft had a profound impact on American literature, music, and thought. This anthology, edited by Jonathan C. Creasy, showcases the work of key figures from the movement, including well-known poets like Olson, Creeley, Duncan, Levertov, and Williams.
As well as these prominent voices, the collection also features lesser-known women associated with the college, such as M.C. Richards and Hilda Morley, alongside artists and musicians Josef Albers and John Cage. This diverse selection offers a unique insight into the radical and experimental spirit of Black Mountain College.
