John Clarke and Albert Glover, editors. A Curriculum of the Soul. The Institute of Further Studies, Canton, NY 2010. 896 pp. A collaborative text in twenty-eight books derived from “A Plan for a Curriculum of the Soul” by Charles Olson which appeared in The Magazine of Further Studies #5. Publication of A Curriculum began in 1968 with Charles Olson’s “Pleistocene Man” (which now serves as an introduction to the completed text) as the first fascicle in an ongoing series that appeared between 1972 and 2002. After John Clarke’s death in 1992, Albert Glover finished the fascicle publications and then edited the entire collection as a single text which appeared in a fine press edition of fifty copies designed by Michael Russem and hand-bound by Sarah Creighton in Japanese silk for the Charles Olson centenary celebrations. Seven of ten copies remain for sale at $3,000 each to cover the costs of production. For more information, contact
