KYLE SCHLESINGER/OLSON'S MELVILLE BIBLIOGRAPHY

A few years ago I typed up a bibliography for a reading group with Bob Creeley on Olson and Melville. Ralph Maud printed it in The Minutes a few years later. I'm interested in updating it now, so please drop me a line if you're aware of any primary or secondary sources that should appear below.

Thanks!
