Fielding Dawson 1987 Wanted For Attempted Manhood
Fielding Dawson’s work is known for its stream-of-consciousness style and free use of grammar and dialogue. Dawson studied poetry under Charles Olson during his time at the college. In the decades following, he joined the Beat scene in New York, where he wrote 22 books of short stories, memoirs, and a history of the college entitled “Black Mountain Days.” Dawson’s form in the broadside “Wanted For Attempted Manhood” exudes his distinguished language and style.
