Privacy Details. ISBN 13: 9781574230550. The Residual Years: Poems, 1934-1948: Including a Selection of Uncollected and Previously Unpublished Poems. Everson, William. This specific ISBN edition is currently not available. William Everson (1912 1994) was many things a conscientious objector, a fine-press printer, a Dominican monk, and a much-loved teacher and literary personality. Above all else, he was a poet for many readers the celebrator of the spirit and landscape of the Pacific Northwest. His lifework in poetry is clearly divided into three chapters, a fact reflected in the three-volume arrangement of his Collected Poems. The first volume gathers his early work, poems exploring the violence inherent in the natural world and in the heart of man. The second collects the moving lyrics and narrative poems on Christian themes published under his Dominican name, Brother Antoninus. The final volume, comprising work written after his return to secular life, marks the poet's reconciliation with nature and his own place in it. But all of Everson's poetry, wrote Kenneth Rexroth, is a unity: "It is all concerned with the drama of his own self, rising and falling along the sine curve of life, everything [full] of a terrible beauty and pain. Life isn't like that to some people, and to them these poems will seem too strong a wine. But of course life is like that." "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. "William Everson vividly represented one of the great traditions of California poetry the prophetic visionary. His worldview was more religious, his temperament more mystical, and his voice more private than his spiritual and artistic model, Robinson Jeffers, and yet the two poets are recognizably kin. Both wrote out of the elemental confrontation of man and untamed nature, both [had] poetic visions that emerged from an almost primal existential struggle. [And both] are irreplaceable, the genuine article." --Dana Gioia. William Everson. William Everson (1912-1994) in 1992). Courtesy Literrata . William Everson (September 10, 1912 – June 3, 1994), also known as Brother Antoninus , was an American poet of the San Francisco Renaissance, who was also a literary critic and small press printer. Contents. Life [ edit | edit source ] Beginnings [ edit | edit source ] Everson was born in Sacramento, California. His Christian Scientist parents, both of them printers, raised him on a farm outside the small fruit- growing town of Selma, south of Fresno in California's San Joaquin Valley. He played football at Selma High School and attended Fresno State College (later California State University, Fresno). Poet and thinker [ edit | edit source ] Everson registered as an anarchist and a pacifist with his draft board, in compliance with the 1940 draft bill. In 1943, he was sent to a Civilian Public Service (CPS) work camp for conscientious objectors in Oregon. In Camp Angel at Waldport, Oregon, with other poets, artists and actors such as Kemper Nomland, William Eshelman, Kermit Sheets, Glen Coffield, George Woodcock and Kenneth Patchen, he founded a fine-arts program in which the CPS men staged plays and poetry-readings and learned the craft of fine printing. During his time as a conscientious objector, Everson completed The Residual Years , a volume of poems that launched him to national fame. Everson joined the Catholic Church in 1948 and soon became involved with the Catholic Worker Movement in Oakland, California. He took the name "Brother Antoninus" when he joined the Dominican Order in 1951 in Oakland. A colorful literary and counterculture figure, he was subsequently nicknamed the "Beat Friar." He left the Dominicans in 1969 to embrace a growing sexual awakening, and married a woman many years his junior. The 1974 poem Man-Fate explores this transformation. Everson was stricken by Parkinson's Disease in 1972, and its effects on him became a powerful element in his public readings. Everson was an influential member of the San Francisco Renaissance and worked closely with Kenneth Rexroth during this period of his life. Throughout his life, Everson was a devotee of the work and lifestyle of poet Robinson Jeffers. Much of his work as a critic was done on Jeffers's poetry. Everson spent most of his years living near the central California coast a few miles north of Santa Cruz in a cabin he dubbed "Kingfisher Flat". He was poet-in-residence at the University of California, Santa Cruz during the 1970s and 1980s. There he founded the Lime Kiln Press, a small press through which he printed highly sought-after fine-art editions of his own poetry, as well as of the works of other poets, including Robinson Jeffers and Walt Whitman. His papers are archived at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at UCLA [1] and The Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley [2] . Black Sparrow Press released a three-volume series of the collected poems of Everson, the last volume of which was published in 2000.

  • Imprint: Oregon 1935
    Imprint:Oregon 1°A S Fall-Spring 1978-1979 °M z-i William Everson Waldport: an Interview with William Everson Introduction During World War II the problem of what to do with conscientious objectors who refused to engage in certain types of moreor less war-related work was resolved by the establishment of so-called ConscientiousObjectors Camps, more formallyCivilian Public Service Camps. They were sponsored by the "peace churches,"the Brethren, Mennonite and American Friends Service Committee. By 1945 there were more than 110 such camps and sub-camps throughout the United States. The origins and pur- poses of these camps are well described in the interview which follows. There were three such camps in Oregon: No. 21 (Cascade Locks) opened Dec. 5, 1941: No.56 (Waldport) opened Oct. 24, 1942: No.59 (Elkton) opened Nov.?, 1942. All were engaged in forest maintenance directed by the U. S. Forest Service or by the Oregon and California Revested Lands Administration, Such work consisted of tree planting, blister rust control, fire fighting and trail building, a continuation, essenti- ally, of work done formerly by the receniiy defunct Civilian Conservation Corps. In the usual manner of all such camps, the CO camps produced house organs, usual- ly weekly or monthly mimeographed newspapers. These papers were sponsoredand encouraged by the camp administration itself. winch regarded them as a harmless and even useful outlet for expression. There were, however, some exceptions tothis expec- tation. Among Oregon camps, for example, there wasa proliferation of camp newspapers out of Elkton. This may be partially explainedbythe fact that Elkton was operated as aheadquarters camp and sent contingentsto sub-camps located as far south as Kiam.

  • Untide Press by Jeremy Skinner the Untide Press (1943-1951) Was a Small Poetry Press Founded at Camp Angel, a Civilian Public Service (CPS) Site Near Waldport
    Untide Press By Jeremy Skinner The Untide Press (1943-1951) was a small poetry press founded at Camp Angel, a Civilian Public Service (CPS) site near Waldport. It was one of many camps across the United States where conscientious objectors (COs) were assigned unpaid jobs of "national importance" as a substitute for World War II military service. In 1943, a small group of COs gathered at Camp Angel to implement a multi-faceted fine arts program that included a printing operation. The first publication issued by the program was Glen Coffield's The Untide ("What is not Tide is Untide"), an underground newsletter published in opposition to the official camp newsletter, The Tide. This was followed by X War Elegies, a collection of poemsby Fine Arts Program Director William Everson, issued serially with The Untide. When bound together, this collection became the press's first official publication. The next three Untide books were small pamphlets assembled with a mimeograph, a silk screen, and a small letterpress. All three publications were praised for their quality and found an eager audience throughout the CPS network. Encouraged by this success, the group purchased a machine pressthat they used to issue nine more titles. Although its body of work was not large, the Untide Press developed a reputation for issuing high-quality writing paired with innovative design. Writers included William Everson, Glen Coffield, Jacob Sloan, George Woodcock, John Walker, and Kenneth Patchen. Illustrators and designers included Kemper Nomland, Charles Davis, Clayton James, B. Straker James, William Eshelman, Wilfred Lang, and Adrian Wilson. Many of the people associated with the press later were instrumental figures in what became known as the San Francisco Renaissance in the 1950s.
