CRONOS, first published in 1947 by Ohio State University students Richard Wirtz Emerson, Gene D. Symonds, Ward Taylor, and Frederick Eckman, along with faculty member Claude Strauss, all of whom had recently returned from World War II, became a significant force in small press publishing. It later evolved into The Golden Goose, showcasing a diverse array of literary voices, such as William Carlos Williams, Denise Levertov, and Ezra Pound.David Adams, a BGSU Master of Fine Arts graduate and mentee of Frederick Eckman, will discuss the history and impact of these publications on post-war poetry, as well as his personal ties to Eckman, a founding editor of CRONOS and The Golden Goose. Eckman, who joined BGSU’s English Department in 1961 and co-founded its Creative Writing program in 1968, was instrumental in shaping literary culture both locally and nationally.This presentation offers an insightful look into the rich history of post-war poetry.More About Frederick Eckman Eckman wrote both poetry and prose, publishing in notable literary magazines and establishing a solid reputation as a poet and critic and joined the English Department at BGSU in 1961.
