 Dana Gioia Online - William Everson
William Everson vividly represented one of the great traditions of California poetry–the prophetic visionary.
His worldview was more religious, his temperament more mystical, and his voice more private than his spiritual and artistic model, Robinson Jeffers, and yet the two poets are recognizably kin.
We soon wrote him in nearby Santa Cruz for a poem, and he responded immediately with "Rattlesnake August," which so dazzled us that in the fall of 1977 we published a "William Everson/Brother Antoninus Issue." Just as the issue appeared, I headed east to begin a business career.

The first act was rounded out with a Masterpiece Theatre homage (complete with accents) in Ives' The Mystery at Twicknam Vicarage, which starts with a murder and ends with everyone admitting their guilt and declaring their love (in a rather squishy way).
A fitting piece to follow was Ives' comic condensation of five of David Mamet's plays into ten minutes with Speed-the-Play which employed the deft cast in a series of expletives and explorations of the key parts of Mamet's dramas.
