New Museum Publication!
Charles Olson: Letters Home, edited by David Rich
This book, published in Olson's centennial year, is a study
in letters of Charles Olson and a sampling of ten people in Gloucester who
were part of his circle: artists, writers, a publisher, a museum
president, an inventor and an architect. Editor David Rich has taken
the unusual step of arranging each chapter by correspondent and presenting
both sides of each exchange when possible: the result is a group portrait,
with Olson at the center, of a vibrant literary and artistic scene.
Soft cover, 150 pages. $25.00.

The
most recent scholarship on Fitz Henry Lane
Fitz Henry Lane:
Family and Friends
by Sarah Dunlap and
Stephanie Buck
The Museum is pleased to announce the newest addition to the shelves of
the shop. Fitz Henry Lane: Family and Friends. Written by the
Museum's Librarian and Archivist, Stephanie Buck, and Sarah V. Dunlap,
co-chair of the Gloucester Archives Committee, and co-published by the
Museum, the book discloses new facts about Lane’s life and relationships
in his birthplace of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Using previously ignored
or overlooked photographs, maps and documents, some of which are
reproduced for the first time, they take a close look at Lane’s family,
his childhood, the neighborhood he grew up in, his schooling, his early
career as a shoemaker, and his stone house. They draw clear portraits of
several of Lane’s adult friends and uncover some surprising details about
his estrangement from his brother-in-law. They also revisit and expand on
the discussions surrounding his lameness and the proliferation of the use
of his incorrect middle name. Soft bound $18.95.
