Yet his work represents a profound, and profoundly original, artistic response to problems that shaped modernist poetry and that still perplex poets today; how to reconcile scientific and artistic discourses and modes of vision; how to connect present-day experience to myths perceived as lying at the origins of human culture; how to renew the poetic language and how (or whether) to present art''s claim to moral, spiritual, or epistemological seriousness within representations of modern phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Jeffers, as for no other important modern American poet,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jeffers' material is uncompromising, yet perspicacious and notable.
