Brother Antonius (William Everson) was a poet of the San Francisco Renaissance and a handpress printer. Born in Sacramento, California, in 1912, he grew up in San Joaquin Valley and attended California State University, Fresno. In 1948, a selection of his poetry published under the title ""The Residual Years"" brought him national attention, and the following year he was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation grant. Later that year he converted to Catholicism and entered the Dominican Order. He continued to print volumes of his own poetry on his handpress until his death in 1994. In this interview, Antonius discusses his time in a conscientious objectors’ camp during WWII, postwar San Francisco Renaissance, conversion to Catholicism, and printing the Psalter. This interview is part of a group of interviews documenting literature, publishing, and printing in the Bay Area.
