 | The Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers by Robinson Jeffers, Tim Hunt
This selected edition of work by Jeffers (1887-1962) includes not only his short lyrics but also the longer narratives that are definitive of Jeffers's career but often unrepresented in anthologies because of their length. Jeffers's work has helped shape the poetics of the American West, and a sampling of his critical writing offers insight into his aesthetic concerns. AUTHOR: Robinson Jeffers, Tim Hunt
