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.

Review:

"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.... Both wrote out of the elemental confrontation of man and untamed nature, both [had] poetic visions that emerged from an almost primal existential struggle. [And both] are irreplaceable, the genuine article." --Dana Gioia
