In 1951, Charles Olson was hired as a visiting professor at Black Mountain College. He would eventually succeed Josef Albers as the college’s rector. His ideas influenced a whole generation of poets and writers, including Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, Denise Levertov, Jonathan Williams, Hilda Morley, Joel Oppenheimer, and Paul Blackburn.
