Olson and his translator Klaus Reichert, Akademie der Künste, Berlin, Dec. 15, 1966
Event: "Ein Gedicht und sein Autor. Lyrik und Essay." Olson reads his poem in memory to Rainer Maria Gerhard, and "Maximus, to Himself."
•"To Gerhardt, There, Among Europe's Things..." (excerpts: opening section and the segues to section 5, "the stick is a reminder" the end of the poem) text (2:39): MP3
•"Maximus, to Himself" ["I have had to learn the simplest things last"] (1:43): MP3 | text
•Comments: "The problem of the USA today is the power which is in the raiding party. But like it’s an idea, a paramilitary idea, moves in advance of a nation, thereby eventually giving a language." Olson then expresses his outrage that Andrei Voznesensky has said, days before at the Library of Congress, that "the poets of America weren’t close to our people." (1:34): MP3
