Remembering Joel Oppenheimer
Poetry. Lyman Gilmore's biography of Joel Oppenheimer, Don't Touch the Poet, says Robert Bertholf, "made me realize again how much I loved Joel, and how much fun I had being around him." REMEMBERING JOEL OPPENHEIMER is in turn the record of a deep personal friendship as well as a study of the work of one of the major Black Mountain poets. Robert J Bertholf edited Oppenheimer's Collected Later Poems. He is also the editor of, among others, Selected Poems of Robert Duncan, From This Condensery (selected poems of Lorine Neidecker), A Great Admiration H.D./Robert Duncan Correspondence 1950-1961, and (with David Landrey), a volume of works by Oppenheimer, Drawing from Life.. Formerly curator for the Poetry/Rare Books Collection at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Bertholf is currently the Charles D Abbott Scholar-In-Residence at that university.
Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov
A distinguished group of critics examine the close association between Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov, two poets central to the American postwar period, and the issues of form and meaning that drew them together and then split them apart, especially the question of the relation between poetry and politics, the private and public responsibilities of the poet.
The Letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov
This volume presents the complete correspondence between two of the most important and influential American poets of the postwar period. The almost 500 letters range widely over the poetry scene and the issues that made the period so lively and productive. But what gives the exchange its special personal and literary resonance is the sense of spiritual affinity and shared conviction about the power of the visionary imagination. Duncan and Levertov explore these matters in rich detail until, under the stress of dealing with the Vietnam War in poetry, they discover deep-seated differences in the religious and ethical convictions underlying their politics and poetic stance. The issues that drew them together and those that drove them apart create a powerful personal drama with far-reaching historical and cultural significance. The editors have provided a critical Introduction, full notes, a chronology, and a glossary of names.
Selected Poems
Bertholf's selections are so attuned to the essentials of Duncan's writing that even those familiar with the whole body of Duncan's work will become more sensitized to his recurring imagery and consistency of thought pattern throughout this collection. --Publishers Weekly.
A Selected Prose
A Selected Prose represents the most wide-ranging collection to date of Robert Duncan's essays and talks and is a companion volume to the Selected Poems (1993).
Contextual Practice
Fredman makes the original argument that some of the most innovative works of poetry and art in the postwar period (1945–1970) engaged in a "contextual practice," a term that refers both to a way of making art characterized by assemblage and to a new relationship between art and life, an "erotic poetics."
Beyond Maximus
Beyond Maximus shows how field poetics influenced the construction of the public voices of five Black Mountain poets (Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, Denise Levertov, and Ed Dorn) in order to explain their association in the 1950s and 60s as well as their break-up as a result of the political and poetic crises of the Vietnam War era.

Imagining Persons
Robert Duncan's nine lectures on Charles Olson, delivered intermittently from 1961 to 1983, explore the modernist literary background and influences of Olson's influential 1950 essay "Projective Verse." These transcribed talks pay tribute to Olson and expand our knowledge of Duncan's vision of modernist writing.
