Description

Landis Everson's debut collection, Everything Preserved, brings together two distinct periods of his poetic career. The earlier poems, written between 1955 and 1960, reflect the poet's early style, while the later poems, penned between 2003 and 2005, showcase a renewed vitality and spontaneity. Everson's poetry is characterized by its vividness and directness, unmediated by formal constraints. This collection, selected from over 1,100 submissions, marks his return to writing after a long silence, and its recognition as the winner of the Emily Dickinson First Book Award is a testament to his enduring talent. With Everything Preserved, Everson offers a unique glimpse into the evolution of his poetry, spanning nearly five decades.
