As poet, critic, theorist and teacher, Charles Olson extended the possibilities of modern writing. From Call Me Ishmael, his pioneering study of Herman Melville, to his epic poetic project The Maximus Poems, Olson probed the relation between language, space and community. Writing in the aftermath of the Second World War, he provided radical resources for the re-imagining of place and politics, resources for collective thought and creative practice we are still learning how to use. Re-situating Olson’s work in relation both to his own moment and to current concerns, the essays assembled in Contemporary Olson provide a major re-assessment of his place in postwar poetry and culture. Through a series of contextualising chapters, discussions of individual poems and reflections on Olson’s legacy by leading international writers and critics, the book presents a poet who still informs contemporary poetry.

Mykal Orion and the Station of Thieves: An Interesting Blend of Sci-Fi and Moral Characters

#1 International Best Seller in Christian / Futuristic The exciting beginning to the Mykal Orion series. Join Mykal as he journeys to the Station of Thieves to make a name for himself, and along the way, encounters more than he expected. Here's what people are saying about Mykal Orion and the Station of Thieves: Virtues of humility and faith are brought forth in Jonah Wilson's first science fiction adventure, "Mykal Orion and the Station of Thieves." Within this well written story Mykal Orion, a determined young man, decides to leave his home and sets his own course within the cosmos where crisis and conspiracy await him. It is through his journey that we come into contact with strange alien creatures, experience suspenseful situations and are shown the disastrous effects of egotism. Such is the case with a conceited character named Dr. Larso whose main motivation is to use his great knowledge of genetic manipulation for self-exultation. In this regard, I found Jonah's focus on the weakness of pride verses the strengths of moral principles throughout the story refreshing. That along with Jonah's various, interesting characters and bits of humor within the story left me wanting to read more. An interesting blend of sci-fi and moral characters. This is imaginative and has good concepts. Definitely want to see how this develops. I love this concept and will be anxiously awaiting the next installment. I especially like the way Mykal changed as the story progressed. If you still need convincing to buy this book, it is also clean of foul language and risqu scenes. Yep, you don't have to worry about lengthy tirades or that sudden 'what am I reading' feeling. There is some action and themes dealt with, but not described in detail, so be advised.

The God Stones 2065 - The world's supply of fossil fuels has dried up, necessitating the search for new sources of energy. The Orion Chronicles introduces the reader to British Naval Captain, Sir Geoffrey P. Matheson III, a part-time pirate, and full-time womanizing alcoholic, who discovers a vast horde of power stones - a strange and rare energy source, on a South Pacific island. However, this cache of valuable stones exists on another timeline and two hundred years in the past. With his ship, Orion, fitted with the technology to enter the Slipstream - an access portal to alternate timelines - Matheson and crew engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a capable opponent intent on claiming this horde for himself. Complicating Matheson's plan to capitalize on this treasure, is the discovery of a nineteen-year-old woman who might be the daughter he never knew he had - living on the Polynesian island in 1874. When the woman is kidnapped, Matheson disobeys the orders of his government superiors and makes an unauthorized time-jump to recover the girl and protect the strange energy source before his rival can divulge its secret location. To save her and the treasure, Matheson must call on several powerful acquaintances for assistance. The price for their help is steep, and his request places him in the unenviable position of owing them, but he is willing to sacrifice everything to protect his ship and crew, the girl, and the source of the amazing God Stones.
The Orion Dimension: Hopi Cosmology, Earth Enigmas & Celestial Secrets

The Hopi of the Desert Southwest are known today as superb sky watchers and dry farmers, but long ago they were also accomplished sailors. This book explores the tribe's links to the South Pacific, Easter Island, Egypt, India, and Mayan Central America, where psychic Edgar Cayce claims a lost Hall of Records awaits discovery. Other topics include: hourglass symbols, lunation triangles, Ant People, Birdman, the Dogon of Africa, Lascaux, Orion the Hand Constellation, and the cosmic Kundalini quest to the heart of the Milky Way. "Gary David, whose work on the archaeoastronomy of the Southwest is of the first importance, generously shared his extensive knowledge and insights with me on a journey through Arizona and New Mexico."-Graham Hancock, America BeforeFrom Chapter 1: The Road to OrionIn the spring of 1997 I embarked on a research and writing quest that would last to this day. That fall I would turn 45, and my midlife crisis involved a change of literary partners: from poetry to nonfiction. I had been living with my family in northern Arizona for a few years, and had begun to explore the incredibly complex and intriguing Hopi culture, as well as their ancestral rock art in the region. During a drive to the reservation in order to watch the katsina (kachina) dancers, those bizarre, multicolored masked spirit messengers, I had an epiphany of sorts. I had recently read Robert Bauval's book The Orion Mystery, which basically posits that the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau corresponded to the belt stars of Orion. Up ahead on the lonely, arrow-straight road going north lay the three primary Mesas upon which the Hopi had lived, grew food, prayed and performed religious ceremonies for over a millennium. What if, I idly imagined, that triad of flat-topped mountains where the Hopi had constructed their stone and adobe villages were also an "Orion Correlation"? I put those wispy daydream clouds in the back of my mind and proceeded to experience the peaceful but pragmatic Hopi themselves.After witnessing a number of sacred katsina dances of inestimable power and beauty, I returned home and got out a map of Arizona and a sky chart. What I found astounded me There was a Hopi village or ruin site corresponding to each major star in the constellation-not just the belt stars. Not only that, there appeared to be an inter-relationship between the ancient villages, separated by many miles, that were aligned to sunrise and sunset points on the horizon at the summer and winter solstices. Perfectly projected upon the high desert, Orion also incorporated what I came to call a "chakra line," running down the middle of the constellation's terrestrial configuration. It stretched from southwestern Colorado to the mouth of the Colorado River and contained more that a dozen villages or ruins. In addition, the template also encompassed the spectacular Ancestral Puebloan "star city" of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico-the largest groups of ruins in the American Southwest corresponding to Sirius, the brightest stellar body in the heavens. As we shall see, many vistas full of mystery and majesty unfold on the road to Orion.
