A record of William Everson’s 1975 reading at the University of California, Davis.

The main text is a presentation of the reading—poems and extemporaneous ruminations—integrated with six dramatic, large-scale woodcuts created for this publication by Keiji Shinohara.

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.
