Landis Everson was an inner member of the Berkeley Renaissance of the
late 1940s, the fourth intimate of the famed Spicer-Duncan-Blaser
circle. To Jack Spicer he was a myth and a god. To Robert Duncan he
was the Poet King. John Ashbery admired his poetry in New York in the
early 1950s, and published selections in Locus Solus in 1962
(Everson's last appearance in print until now!). In 1960 Everson
participated in a pivotal three-person weekly Sunday poetry group with
Spicer and Blaser in San Francisco. While Spicer was writing Homage to
Creeley, Everson was composing Postcard from Eden and The Little
Ghosts I Played With, two great sequences which now appear in print
for the first time in Fulcrum 3, in The Berkeley Renaissance, edited
by Ben Mazer. Fulcrum is proud to present Landis Everson's first
public appearances in over forty years.

John Hennessy's poems have recently appeared or are forthcoming in
Fulcrum, The Sewanee Review, Salt, The Yale Review, LIT, and Ontario
Review. He teaches at UMass Amherst.

Katia Kapovich's collection of English language poetry is Gogol in
Rome (Salt, 2004). She is also a well-known Russian poet.

Mark Lamoureux's chapbooks are CITY/TEMPLE (Ugly Ducking Presse, 2003)
and 29 CHEESEBURGERS (Pressed Wafer, 2004).

Glyn Maxwell, born in Hertfordshire, England, now lives in NY City.
His several books of poetry include The Breakage and The Nerve (both
Houghton Mifflin). He is the poetry editor of The New Republic and
teaches at Princeton and Columbia.

Ben Mazer's chapbook selection of poetry, with cover art by Mary
Fabilli, is forthcoming from Fulcrum this fall. He is the editor of
The Berkeley Renaissance (Fulcrum, 2004) and The Collected Poems of
John Crowe Ransom (Handsel, 2005).

Philip Nikolayev's latest book of poetry is Monkey Time, 2001 Verse
Prize winner. His new collection is forthcoming from Salt.
