Robert Creeley

Robert Creeley was a major American poet, essayist, and editor. He first met Charles Olson at Black Mountain College where, Creeley joked, Olson was referred to as Maximus and he was called Minimus due to their teacher-apprentice reltionship. A close friendship followed, documented in the ten-volume collected correspondence. Creely wrote, The letters...were really my education just because their range and articulation took me into terms of writing and many other areas indeed where I otherwise might never have entered.
