Fresno Poet Peter Everwine in The New Yorker
Submitted by Cindy Wathen on Sun, 10/14/2007 - 10:00.
There's a gorgeous poem by Fresno poet Peter Everwine in this week's New Yorker. It's called "Aubade in Autumn," and it's the October 15, 2007 issue.
Everwine's most recent book of poetry is "From the Meadow: Selected and New Poems." It can be purchased directly from the publisher here:

Indeed
As you left the valley more than 40 years ago, I arrived in 1983 and realized only many years later that thanks to the long list headed by Everwine and so may others (and, oh yes, Levine), there is a "here" here. And as you say, a constant source of amazement.
Peter Everwine
I had the singular privilege of taking two classes at Fresno State, circa 1963, taught by Peter Everwine and the late Gene Bluestein. I was very involved in folk music at the time and both became very influential in the way in which I approached the subject afterward.
I stumbled onto this site and was so very pleased to see Peter's name again and to learn of this great body of work. I thank him, many years too late, for his influence on me and look forward to reacquainting myself with his poetry. I may have left the valley forty plus years ago, but I still consider my roots to be deeply embedded there. It is a constant source of amazement to my friends.
