Boers translation, nominated for the National Book Award, has established itself like no other. This book, over 2000 years old, gives the earliest depiction of the divinities as individuals and evokes the Greek mythic imagination.  Scrupulously faithful to every line of the Homeric text, the language sings and moves, evoking the mythic imagination of the Gods and Goddesses in a manner rarely captured before. By avoiding the conventions of academic style, Boer's verse provides the ancient world as a fresh and stunning experience.

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Charles Boer offers less a work of literary criticism or traditional biography than a portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential writers from a friend and student's point of view. Boer's choice to write in the second person, as if to Olson, himself, lends the work a quality of intimacy. This stands as one of the vital books for those with an interest in the study of Charles Olson, full of direct quotations which shed light on aspects of Olson's character, his scholarly work and his poetry.
