Side Track No. Comments
One Charles Olson & Ed Dorn talking on the grass at Berkeley Poetry Conference, in 1965. They discuss their friendship, their concern with the local, and “finding out for oneself.” Ed Dorn talks about recently travelling through the west, speaking with the natives of the region who had been visited and studied by anthropologists. Olson and Dorn discuss the “primitive” not as something without “civilization” but as its own civilization, and the power of “letting the song lie in the thing itself.”
Olson also discusses his work in Gloucester, and The Maximus Poems.
