"Whatever is done this moment in time has the qualities of this moment in time." - Charles Olsen

Charles Olsen was a link between Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams and the New American Poets - the New York School, Black Mountain School, Beat poets and the San Francisco Renaissance. He described himself as "an archeologist of the morning."

Walt Whitman :

• poet, lover of life
• carefree optomism
• transcendent self-discovery, new landscapes of beauty & possibility
• transcendent connecting with something larger than oneself : nature, time & space and love
• mystic and indirect chant of aspiration toward a noble life
• reach the highest point a human soul is capable of attaining
• wisdom / past, future, majesty, love
