At the camp he printed William Everson's anti-war poems for Untide Press. After the war he and his wife, Joyce Lancaster Wilson, moved to San Francisco and helped to form the Interplayers Theater. In 1947, he joined University of California, Berkeley to study architecture. However, he soon left UC Berkeley to join Jack Stauffacher at the Greenwood Press.
