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 The Residual Years: Poems, 1934-1948: Including a Selection of Uncollected and Previously Unpublished Poems.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.
