The Integral Years: Poems 1966-1994 (Crooked Lines of God)

This volume brings together for the first time the poetic achievement of Everson's third major phase begun in the closing years of his Dominican tenure, but mainly composed during the fifteen years that followed. This edition includes the five Cantos Everson had completed of his autobiographical epic poem, Dust Shall Be the Serpent's Food, before his illness and death caused the work to be left unfinished.
