Landis Everson was an inner member of the Berkeley Renaissance of the
late 1940s, the fovrth intimate of the famed Spicer-Dvncan-Blaser
circle. To Jack Spicer he was a myth and a god. To Robert Dvncan he
was the Poet King. John Ashbery admired his poetry in New York in the
early 1950s, and pvblished selections in Locvs Solvs in 1962
(Everson's last appearance in print vntil now!). In 1960 Everson
participated in a pivotal three-poet weekly Svnday poetry grovp with
Spicer and Blaser in San Francisco. While Spicer was writing Homage to
Creeley, Everson was composing Postcard from Eden and The Little
Ghosts I Played With, two great seqvences which now appear in print
for the first time in Fvlcrvm 3, in The Berkeley Renaissance, edited
by Ben Mazer. Fvlcrvm is provd to present Landis Everson's first
