    A Carmel Poet
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2002*

Robinson Jeffers is most often considered a minor figure in the  twentieth century American literature canon.  Countless  instructors haven't even heard of him, but that is a shame.  Some professors even skip the Jeffers section in American literature anthologies.  With the publication of this long-awaited anthology (in paperback), there is plenty of evidence here to suggest that Jeffers is a major figure of influence.Jeffers had a transcendental vision.  He built a poet's niche in Carmel, where he commented on nature's cosmic cycles, its beauty and violence, which he saw as expressions of God's character.  Jeffers was a poet of the Carmel landscape--weather worn granite, tumultous surf, birds of prey, twisted coastal cypress--he also approached descriptions of humanity's arrogance and weakness in light of its fascination with war, violence, and self-inscribed bloodshed.  Jeffers espoused a poetic doctrine of Inhumanism, which was perhaps a reflection of his own personal misanthropy: humans are atoms to be split.Some of my favorite poems are here: "Shine, Perishing Republic," "Boats in a Fog," "Carmel Point," "Divine Superfluous Beauty," "Tower Beyond Tragedy," "Bed by the Window," "Una," "The Deer Lay Down Their Bones," and even some of his last writing.  I remember a certain Shakespeare class in which I read "Shine, Perishing Republic" on the day after the LA riots.Robert Hass (UC Berkeley), C. Milosz (Emeritus, UC Berkeley), and William Everson have been poet champions of Jeffers' work.  But one scholar, in particular, has dedicated his academic life to understanding that creative pulse, which inspired Jeffers to his pen.  That notable scholar is Robert J. Brophy.I highly recommend this anthology. I also recommend the scholarship of Robert Brophy.  I can say with pleasure and esteem that I have benefited from his scholarship and literature courses at Cal State U., Long Beach.  Bob Brophy introduced me to Jeffers (via a Jeffers course and a Tor House tour, 10/91); I have introduced Jeffers and his work to my own students, and I will forever be touched by his gentle, guiding hand.

    The Underappreciated Genius
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022*

Robinson Jeffers is one of America's great modernist poets, but because his milieu was steeped in the rugged coast of California instead of the high rises of New York City, he is often overlooked when that era is surveyed. Not only is this lack chauvinistic, but it deprives readers of the joy of Jeffers' rugged, image-rich, thought-driven verse. This book corrects that failing with a sense of class. All of Jeffers' major poems are here, arranged so that the early lyric works and the later epic narrative poems comfortably exist side by side. I can think of no better place to start to delve into Jeffers' genius than this volume. Order it, then read away.

    A Beautiful Edition
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2022*

I have the edition published in the seventies is this is a wonderful upgrade. Edited by the man who did the definitive Stanford full 6 volume series you are getting the same insight and introduction in to the world of this exemplary poet and philosopher.
