All poems belong to Robinson Jeffers. I own nothing. Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is a major voice in twentieth-century American poetry, a poetic alternative to the high modernism of Eliot and Pound. An important figure for contemporary poets who have returned to the narrative poem, Jeffers is increasingly read for his concern with questions of human violence and evil, as well as for his peerless evocations of the California coast. He stands as a crucial precursor to contemporary attempts to rethink our practical, ethical, and spiritual obligations to the natural world.
