Black Mountain poets, a group of poets associated with Black Mountain College, an experimental liberal arts college founded in 1933 near Asheville, NC, which became in the early 1950s a centre of anti-academic poetic revolt. A leading figure was Charles Olson (1910–70), rector of the college from 1951 to 1956, whose Projective Verse (1950) was a form of manifesto, laying much emphasis on the dynamic energy of the spoken word and phrase and attacking the domination of syntax, rhyme, and metre. His students and followers included R. Creeley, Robert Duncan (1919– ), and Denise Levertov (1923– ). The Black Mountain Review (1954–7; edited by Creeley) also published work by Allen Ginsberg and Kerouac, thus heralding the Beat Generation.
