In the late 1940s, he was a member of the Berkeley Renaissance along with his friends Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, and Robin Blaser.
Around this time James Herndon published Everson's pamphlet Postcard from Eden.
His work also appeared in John Ashbery & Harry Mathews's Locus Solus in 1962.
Jack Spicer died in 1965; Robin Blaser moved to Vancouver; and Everson stopped writing poetry.
The Boston poet Ben Mazer came across Everson's work while putting together a special feature on the Berkeley Renaissance for Fulcrum.
