Meads Mountain Press, 2018. Item #2693

Unbound book in 162 pp., housed in a rigid set-up box with title page pasted on lid. 

Chronicling the poet Charles Olson's (1910–1970) life in text and glyphs, Sanders presented a version of this book's contents at the 8th Annual Charles Olson Memorial Lecture in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in Nov. 2018 (view lecture here).

Sanders traces Olson's life through moments in his career, his poetry and intellectual development, and family life, intermingled with Olson's poetry and writing. The poetic biography concludes with a glyph and Olson quotation: "He who walks with his House on his Head is Heaven." 

This is from an edition of 50 copies, numbered and signed by the author.
