Biography

William Oliver Everson was born on September 10, 1912 in Sacramento, California, to Louis Waldemar Everson and Francelia Marie Herber Everson. He was the second of three children; his siblings were Vera Louise Everson Shorey and Lloyd Waldemar Everson. Two years later, the family moved to Selma, Calif., where Everson spent the next seventeen years. He entered California State University, Fresno, following his high school sweetheart, Edwa Poulson. A year later, Everson withdrew from college and joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, but eventually returned to CSU Fresno. It was in the fall of 1934 that he discovered the poetry of Robinson Jeffers and published his first book of poems the following spring. It was not until 1938 that Everson and Edwa were married, but their marriage did not survive World War II. Everson was drafted as a conscientious objector and sent to a camp at Waldport, Oregon. He continued to write poetry in Oregon and also became involved in Untide Press, the fine printing press at the camp.
After his release from CO camp, Everson settled in Berkeley and became associated with the San Francisco Renaissance. During this time, Everson started the Equinox Press and won a 1949 Guggenheim Fellowship. He also became interested in Catholicism and eventually was baptised into that faith. He began to work in the Catholic Worker Movement and eventually became a tertiary lay brother of the Dominican Order, taking the name Brother Antoninus. Everson remained a monk until 1969, continuing to write and to publicly read his poems across the U.S., as well as involving himself in the press of St. Albert's Priory. He became associated with the Beat poets at this time, and was known as the "Beat monk". It was as a counselor at St. Albert's Priory that he met Rose Moreno Tanlund, inspiration for "Canticle of the Rose", and Susanna Rickson. Everson left the Dominican Order to marry Rickson in 1969, and adopted her son, Jude, the following year.
In 1971, Everson became a lecturer at Kresge College at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He taught his "Birth of a Poet" course, and was master printer for the university's Lime Kiln Press. It was during this time that Everson was diagnosed with Parkinson's. In 1981, he won a NEA grant and retired from both UC Santa Cruz and fine printing. He began to compile the poems from The Residual Years, The Veritable Years, and his "integral years" into "The Crooked Lines of God", working with a local handprinter as The Kingfisher Press, but this project was never completed. Everson continued to write, but almost ceased to appear in public. After his separation from Rickson in 1992, Everson's friends began The William Everson Fund as a means of support for him, as his Parkinson's progressed. It was not until two years later, at the age of 81, that Everson passed away.

SERIES 2: POETRY, 1959-1993, n.d.

Scope and Content Note

Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically.
Divided into two sub-series: Single Poems and Collected Poems. Single Poems includes drafts, typescripts, and published versions of Everson's poetry, while Collected Poems includes typescripts, and word processed drafts of Everson's poetry collections. The titles of published poems and collections have been italicized. For poems that were both published singly and in a collection, the drafts from the original writing of the poems have been placed in Single Poems, and the drafts of the poem from the collection have been placed in Collected Poems. The cantos that were to make up Dust Shall Be the Serpents Food have been placed alphabetically under their own titles in Single Poems and drafts of Engendering Flood (book one of Dust Shall be the Serpents Food) have been placed in Collected Poems. An untitled canto is filed in Single Poems, under Dust Shall be the Serpent's Food. The "Integral Years", the third book of Everson's "Crooked Lines of God" trilogy, was never published, but drafts for the collection are found in Collected Poems. Everson also never completed his Kingfisher Press print of "The Crooked Lines of God", and the rough prints are also under Collected Poems.

Scope and Content Note

Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically.
Divided into three sub-series: Monographs, Essays and Short Works, and Contributions to Works by Others. Monographs include Everson's Archetype West: The Pacific Coast as Literary Region, Excesses of God: Robinson Jeffers as a Religious Figure, and Prodigious Thrust. The papers related to Archetype West include Everson's letters to Robert L. Hawley that were published in the book. The papers related to Prodigious Thrust include a later, "sanitized" version of the original 1956 manuscript. Essays and Short Works contains works written about all of Everson's varied interests, including Robinson Jeffers and other poets, mysticism and archetypes, and fine printing, as well as some autobiographical writings. Some of the works were published, and those titles have been italicized. In Contributions to Works by Others, Everson's contributions have been organized by the title of the work for which he wrote. His writings include introductions and forewards of monographs and poetry collections, texts for prospectuses, and reviews of books, as well as replies to questionnaires and symposium questions.

Scope and Content Note

Arrangement

Arranged chronologically.
Notebooks, almost all legal-size yellow tablets, were used by Everson to start rough drafts, edit his own and others' writing, to start letters, and make sketches, etc., and each notebook contains some variations on these materials. The subject of the notebooks was determined by the projects on which he was currently working, and Everson often worked in several notebooks at the same time. The notebooks have been arranged by the first season in which they were used. The later notebooks, especially from the nineties, contain recopying of his and others' work, and timetables for his medication. These later notebooks are almost completely illegible due to the loss of motor control from his Parkinson's. Pages torn out of notebooks are grouped together as miscellaneous.

SERIES 6: WORKS BY OTHERS, 1943-1994, n.d.

Scope and Content Note

Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically, first by author, and then by title.
Divided into three sub-series: Writings On Everson, Poetry and Fiction, and Writings Not On Everson. Writings On Everson includes theses and dissertations written by friends and devotees, along with manuscripts, essays, and fragments from works by friends and admirers, such as Lee Bartlett, Albert Gelpi, Clif (Clifton) Ross, and Diane Wakoski. Several of the essays appeared in Perspectives on William Everson. Poetry and Fiction includes work by Everson's idols (usually photocopies of published works), students, unsolicited poems sent by admirers, and poems by fellow Beat poets. Groups of poems that were not titled by the author are listed as "collection of poems". Poems with no title are listed by their first line. Subjects of the poems include Everson, his idols, spirituality, Catholicism, and archetypes. Writings Not On Everson includes writings on Robinson Jeffers and Walt Whitman, as well as other poets; Christianity; the western archetype and the history of the west; writings on fine printing; and theses by friends and admirers. In the works by "anonymous", there are several works about Jeffers. These appear to be similar in format and may even be written by the same person; they perhaps are drafts of essays that were compiled for a paper on Jeffers by a friend of Everson.
