	Robinson Jeffers
		Robinson Jeffers is frequently described as the quintessential California poet.
		Robinson Jeffers: Hawk Tower, Carmel, CA When Una's husband found out how deep his wife's feelings were for the young man three years her junior, he sent Una abroad, to Ireland, where she was moderately happy, until she learned that her husband, in her absence, had filed for divorce.

	Robinson Jeffers Summary
		Robinson Jeffers was born on Jan. 10, 1887, in Pitt...
		Robinson Jeffers is one of the great maverick poets of modern American literature.
		Yet even if Jeffers were serving up a pastiche of metaphysical conceits and French symbolism, it seems unlikely that the "esthetic" critics [who have objected to his style] would feel moved to enthusiasm for his sprawling, often careless narratives.

	Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962)
		Eliot and others, Jeffers searched myth and literature for a "usable past," but he employed these materials more radically than his peers, who, he thought, were fading out in effete aestheticism.
		In several places, Jeffers said that he wrote for all time, not for the moment (even though many of his lyrics of the 1940s are very topical, like carping letters to the editor that criticize world leaders indiscriminately), because he believed poetry should bespeak permanence.
		Although Jeffers has been severely slighted in the academic texts of the last decades, he is one of the few poets, I find, that the general student is most apt to have read before taking an American literature or poetry course.

	Amazon.ca: The Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers: Books: Robinson Jeffers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		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.
		Jeffers, a direct heir of the Transcendentalists Emerson, Thoreau and Whitman (he borrowed Whitman's long line, though failed to produce his sonic effects) stands as one of the finest poetic figures in neo-Romantic Modernism.

		Jeffers was a controversial figure during his lifetime- an individualist and ardent lover of nature.
		Robinson Jeffers appeals to a wide range of readers from lovers of classical literature, from which he drew many of his themes and techniques, to hikers and outdoors-people who, whether they have a knowledge of poetry or are relatively unacquainted with verse, respond to the simple, yet profound natural rhythms and images of his poems.

		Jeffers was born on January 12, 1887, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to a 49 year old Protestant minister and his 27 year old wife.
		Jeffers uses the pronoun "He" as a poetic devise to describe his unanthropomorphic concept of deity, no benevolent father figure, but rather the ground of life and being, utterly indifferent to human hopes and dreams.
		Jeffers' eyes are notable: blue, shifting--but in no sense furtive--as though they would keep their secrets,--penetrating all-seeing eyes.

	Middlebrow » What Got Into Robinson Jeffers?
		Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is not read much anymore, but I predict his work will make a big comeback in the next decade.
		For Jeffers, the exact opposite was true: “the outer world is real and divine; one’s own soul might be called an illusion, it is so slight and so transitory.” The natural world is so real that the I who beholds it scarcely deserves to be recognized as substantial.
		The poetry of Robinson Jeffers is unmatched among twentieth-century poetry for its vigor, vitality, and attention to the rhythms of nature.

	Robinson Jeffers Criticism
		[Robinson Jeffers' poem] "Post Mortem" is a prophetic warning of the future dangers of over-population.
		And I would suggest that the present renaissance of his poetic reputation is due, in part at least, to the accuracy and timeliness of his prophecy, and to the depth of his concern...
		In Robinson Jeffers we find a poet concerned … with the cosmos in which man is but a momentary flicker, [and] the magnificent strophes of this strangely obscure poet show a [rich] maturity.

	The Contagion of Consciousness: Robinson Jeffers' Moral Universe
		In "Hurt Hawks," Jeffers chooses to kill the crippled hawk.[8] Like Reave Thurso, the hawk is irreparably crippled and helpless to do anything but live off charity or face death; like the man, it chooses to try life even when life is utterly hopeless.
		In The Loyalties of Robinson Jeffers, Radcliffe Squires has synopsized the poem to support the view that "Jeffers' admiration clearly goes to Reave," leaving the impression that the mother "lets" Helen die as revenge for the death of her son.
		In each interruption, Jeffers brilliantly communicates the vast scale of the working universe, and in each he contemplates the idea that if the expansion of the universe is purposeful, its purpose is to flee the curse of consciousness.
