A Curriculum Of The Soul: Volume Two

Albert Glover’s publishing venture is one of the most ambitious and consistent of the past decade. The series of books, A Curriculum of the Soul, serves more than one function; as a whole, it advances the provocative theoretical thinking of Charles Olson, and as individual books it produces new poetic statements and works by writers who are among the best in the country.
Alan Davies

I find it difficult to imagine a more admirable project, one which is of value not only to us who read the fascicles as issued, but to the laymen and scholars of the future who will attempt to unravel this complicated age. …Such is the destiny of A Curriculum of the Soul, which is a work of art, gigantic in its conception, yet wonderfully accessible in its execution.
John Nomland

A Curriculum of the Soul (a multi-genre collaborative text in 28 books) is derived from “A Plan for a Curriculum of the Soul” written by Charles Olson. John Clarke, who both selected and assigned the subjects, served as general editor for the project until his death in 1992. Since then Albert Glover has continued this work and is solely responsible for the final editing of the text.
