Everson, William writing as Brother Antoninus.

ROBINSON JEFFERS: Fragments of an Older Fury.

1968 1st Berkeley, CA: Oyez, 1968. First edition. Everson's first book of prose, a collection of six critical essays examining the work of fellow California poet Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962), along with "The Poet is Dead," a memorial elegy Everson wrote for The San Francisco Poetry Festival of 1962. In addition to in-depth analysis of several poems, Everson offers some Jungian interpretations and suggests that the mother-son relationship and its inner strategies for resolution constitute a major influence in Jeffers' verse. It was through a youthful encounter with Robinson Jeffers' poetry that Everson (1912-1994) discovered his own literary calling and embarked on a career that distinguished him as one of the most dynamic and colorful figures in California letters during the middle of the 20th century. Inscribed and dated by Everson as Brother Antoninus on the front flyleaf. Promotional bookmark laid in. Two dust jackets are present on this copy, both of which are fine.
