Introduction by Sidney Berger. Also included is a CD recording of the 1975 reading and a booklet of collected remembrances. “The beauty and substance of Ravaged immerses us in the language, imagery and sound that captures William Everson’s commitment to a life directed by such an exquisite discipline of excavation and revelation.”Betty Bright, Parenthesis 7.

Kelm; colored vellum spine; printed flax paper-covered boards; linen-covered slipcase. Signed by Shinohara and Price.
