The William Everson-Murray J. Smith collection, 1980-1981.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/137224397

The William Everson-Murray J. Smith collection consists largely of letters from Everson to Smith concerning the publication of a book, The high embrace, with text by Everson. Smith was to publish the book but never did. In 1986, Dawson's Book Shop of Los Angeles, Calif., issued the book under the same title with photographs of Everson by Leigh Wiener. The correspondence also touches on the poet's teaching schedule at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and his teaching methods. In addition to the letters the collection contains a few drawings of Everson and a printed invitation addressed to Smith for a lecture by Everson on the type face, Goudy Newstyle.
