This volume situates the work of American poet Charles Olson (1910-1970) at the centre of the early post-war American avant-garde. It shows Olson to have been one of the major advocates and theorists of American modernism in the late 1940s and early 1950s; a poet who responded fully and variously to the political, ethical, and aesthetic urgencies driving innovation across contemporary American art. Reading Olson's work alongside that of contemporaries associated with the New York Schools of painting and music (as well as the exiled Frankfurt School), the book draws on Olson's published and unpublished writings to establish an original account of early post-war American modernism. The development of Olson's work is seen to illustrate two primary drivers of formal innovation in the period: the evolution of a new model of political action pivoting around the radical individual and, relatedly, a powerful new critique of instrumental reason and the Enlightenment tradition. Drawing on extensive archival research and featuring readings of a wide range of artists including, prominently, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, David Smith, Wolfgang Paalen, and John Cage, Charles Olson and American Modernism offers a new reading of a major American poet and an original account of the emergence of post-war American modernism.

This is not my story, but one of how God got one "throwaway" physically handicapped kid through an abusive and neglectful upbringing, through bad circumstances, and past a negative world view to discover a sense of significance in a remote Alaskan cabin one sunny afternoon. I was lifted out of a world of self destruction in 1983, and have since pastored in churches, ministered in jails, prisons, rescue missions, on street corners in Hollywood, fasted and prayed and God lifted more off of him in two seconds of spending time together than all his ministry, military service, defense industry accomplishments, SDVO small business success and educational accomplishment put together. This book will encourage you that answers exist to your questions if you are: ¿	Simply marking time in life with no sense of divine importance¿	Searching for significance beyond social media "friends"¿	Longing to gain or recover a lost sense of closeness to God¿	Convinced your past disqualifies you from future intimacy with God¿	Tired of hungering for purpose in life¿	Searching for how to achieve effectiveness and peace¿	Willing to wage spiritual war to stay free through prayer and fasting. God is ready to speak to us in any place, at any time, and illuminate our hearts with His light to bring us into the new stage in our life so He can turn our weaknesses to strengths.
