Description
Book SynopsisRobinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is not only the greatest poet that California (and indeed the American West) has produced, but a major poet of the 20th century who occupies a prominent place in the tradition of American prophetic poetry. This volume covers his work from 1939-1962.
Trade Review"An edition intended to clarify a 'Jeffers canon,' establishing for times to come the verse legacy of a poet who looked on all things with the eyes of eternity." San Francisco Chronicle "Jeffers is the last of the major poets of his generation-Frost, Stevens, Williams, Pound, Moore, Eliot-to get his collected poems. Now that the job is at hand, it is done very well... Tim Hunt has been painstaking in his editorial preparation and judicious in his presentation... A great poet is ready for his due." Philadelphia Inquirer
