About This Item
A significant work of Pacific Northwestern poetry, the first publication of Untide Press in WWII conscientious objector logging camp Camp Angel in coastal Oregon. The innovative production of this volume, hiding the staples that bind the text underneath glued wraps, would influence Lawrence Ferlinghetti's famous book design for City Lights. Everson himself would be later be associated with Ferlinghetti and the Beats.
This copy belonged to the late William Matchett, a professor at University of Washington, poet, and, due to his being a Quaker, a one-time conscientious objector who was subjected to medical experiments at the Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
