George Evans was born in Pittsburgh in 1948, but now lives in San Francisco where he works full time as a writer. Besides his own work, he has also edited the Olson/Corman correspondance for the National Poetry Foundation, Orono, Maine, the first volume of which appeared in late 1987. His last book was Nightvision, which attracted the following comment: "It is a pleasure to find here no hint of the arbitrary. Evans' poems call to mind a Zukofsky dictum, "Condensation is more than half of composition"... There's and appealing inventiveness and solidity about these poems. They engage with the world, rather than bludgeoning us with subjectivity. And some, for all their sparseness, are gorgeous, glowing with primary colours like the most memorable work of Emily Dickinson and William Carlos Williams."
An antiwar activist veteran of the Viet Nam War, he is one of the subjects of the recent radio series Shared Weight, a six-episode program addressing the impact of war on culture and society, produced for National Public Radio (NPR) by the Center for Emerging Media at WYPR in Baltimore.
