A lecture given at the University of California Poetry Conference in July, 1965, which includes excerpts from The Maximus Poems. Inscribed by Olson to a fellow poet and his wife: “For Vince [Ferrini] and Mary/ my dearest friends/ Charles.”

“Ferrini was a Gloucester poet who was a close friend of Olson’s but also a foil for him, and a character incorporated into one of the Maximus letters. In 1949, after seeing a poem in the magazine Imagi, Charles Olson Paid Ferrini a visit that Olson would later characterize as a ‘fan call’. Ferrini was the catalyst that brought together Olson and poet Robert Creeley. Later Olson addressed his first Maximus Poems as letters to Vincent.” (Ken Lopez, Bookseller)
