Home Page Source: USPS RJ Stamp 1973 Not "to open up new fields of poetry, but only to reclaim old freedom." - RJ Compared to Whitman for his long and melodic lines, Jeffers is influenced by his study of classical literature and by the deterministic doctrines of late nineteenth-century science. He is critical of American capitalism as morally bankrupt and defacing the landscape. His doctrine of Inhumanism - "a shifting of emphasis from man to not-man; the rejection of human solipsism and recognition of the transhuman magnificence" - makes humans to become "uncentered" from themselves. He wrote: "This manner of thought and feeling is neither misanthropic nor pessimistic ... it has objective truth and human value." Primary Works Poetry Flagons and Apples .

Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) Contributing Editor: Arthur B. Coffin Classroom Issues and Strategies Many readers/critics feel that Jeffers's most readable poetry is in his lyric poems; others feel that his most powerful verse is in his long narrative poems, which, of course, cannot be anthologized. It is useful perhaps necessarytherefore to provide students a sense of the larger context in which the lyrics stand and to describe the evolution of Jeffers's personal philosophy, which he called "Inhumanism." Even students who respond readily to Jeffers's reverence for a distant God made manifest in the "beauty of things" (i.e., nature)and many of them embrace these views instantlywill ask, "Where's this guy coming from?" Consider some of the following suggestions. One may assign individual students or groups of students narrative poems to read and report on to the class, but, with the exception of "Roan Stallion," this is long and sometimes laborious work. And it is time-consuming in the classroom. The traditional approach of lecturing to provide the necessary context is the most efficient one. (As the bibliography indicates, there is a large body of scholarly work to draw on for this purpose.) Another possibly more appealing approach from the students' perspective is to introduce Jeffers's Not Man Apart (ed. David Brower, Sierra Club, San Francisco, 1965: Ballantine Books, New York, 1969), which, taking its title from a Jeffers line, is a collection of magnificent Ansel Adams photographs of the Big Sur landscape (accompanied by quotes from Jeffers), which has a central role in this poetry.

Not missing a beat, the poet peers into an ominous yet strangely hopeful future: from east and west, one world, will close on your country Like the jaws of a trap; but people will say, be quiet, we were fooled before. We know that all governments Are thugs and liars, let them fight their own battles; and the trap is closing, and an angry spirit Roosevelt, Hitler and Guy Fawkes Hanged above the garden walks, While the happy children cheer, Without hate, without fear, And new men plot a new war.

30. Pantheist Association For Nature - Robinson Jeffers The poetry of robinson jeffers shines with a diamond s brilliance when he depicts Nature s beauty and magnificence. His verse also flashes with a diamond s http://home.utm.net/pan/jeffers.html

Robinson Jeffers By Gary Suttle The poetry of Robinson Jeffers shines with a diamond's brilliance when he depicts Nature's beauty and magnificence. His verse also flashes with a diamond's hardness when he portrays human pain and folly. Early acclaim (reflected in a Time magazine cover appearance on April 4, 1932 ) faded as Jeffers's work, spurred by the horrors of war and the despoliation of Nature, cast darkening visions. More recent positive scholarly appraisals and increased environmental consciousness have repositioned the avowed Pantheist to the top tier of 20th century American poets. The reticent Jeffers and his affable wife made friends in the area, explored the wild countryside, and, in 1919, bought land for a bluff top home site located just 50 yard from the ocean. Jeffers helped build their "Tor House" (named after the 'Tors' or rocky promontories of Dartmoor, England) from native stone . The dwelling featured a large fireplace and a cozy loft where Robinson, Una, and their twin sons, Garth and Donnan slept (a first-born daughter named Maeve died shortly after birth). Tor House had piped-in water, but no gas, electricity, or telephone. Between 1920 and 1925 Jeffers also constructed a courtyard and an adjacent four-story "Hawk Tower," topped by an open turret with expansive views. Within the tower walls he mortared pieces of lava, fossils, and other artifacts from around the world. Jeffers died at age 75, lying in bed at his Tor House. The poet experienced an epiphany while working with the granite boulders that formed his home. His wife Una witnessed "... a kind of awakening such as adolescents and religious converts are said to experience." According to biographer James Karman, "he felt the grave and earnest energy packed within stone, the calm that masks the spinning atomic structure...the infinite energy enflaming and interconnecting everything that existsfrom flowers on the foreland to stars in the distant sky..."

[1115] Shine, Perishing Republic Title : Shine, Perishing Republic Poet : Robinson Jeffers Date : 22 Nov 2002 While this America s... Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq issamikel@ Shine, Perishing Republic While this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity, heavily thickening to empire, And protest, only a bubble in the molten mass, pops and sighs out, and the mass hardens, I sadly smiling remember that the flower fades to make fruit, the fruit rots to make earth. Out of the mother; and through the spring exultances, ripeness and decadence; and home to the mother. You making haste, haste on decay: not blameworthy; life is good, be it stubbornly long or suddenly A mortal splendor: meteors are not needed less than mountains: shine, perishing republic. But for my children, I would have them keep their distance from the thickening center; corruption Never has been compulsory, when the cities lie at the monster's feet there are left the mountains. And boys, be in nothing so moderate as in love of man, a clever servant, insufferable master. There is the trap that catches noblest spirits, that caught they say God, when he walked on earth. Robinson Jeffers I thought this poem appropriate in light of recent events. It captures the notions of America as the embodiment of many noble sentiments as well as its inevitable failure to realize them. Jeffers gives us, as one critic put it, cold comfort in the fact that our follies are somehow inevitable, part of a greater cycle. It’s a humbling poem, not a pessimistic one, I think; it reminds us to temper our love of humankind, but not extinguish it. Issa Links: Some excerpts from writings on the poem:

35. Dan Schneider On Robinson Jeffers- Lonely Giant! And the best exemplar of this approach to poetry language is the criminally neglected California poet robinson jeffers. His verse has often been touted as http://www.cosmoetica.com/S2-DES2.htm

Robinson Jeffers by Dan Schneider, 4/7/01 Yet for millennia a similar seemingly ridiculous dictum has held a grip over the world of poetry. The absurdity is meter meter itself would consist of the stressed me- –ter truly unstressed syllable would be silent. But even that is far too inadequate, for even if you would read this essay aloud to this point- idea of metrics was so entrenched that its fallacy was needed - lest how does one organize the Whitmanian Revolution if there is nothing against which to revolt? In other words, vers librists have actively promoted the metric fallacy in order to have a hegemony to toss! While one might admire the wicked complicity between the 2 ‘supposedly’ warring camps of poetry, one is still left with the fallacy at the root of it all. Yet, as noted, there was a politically-motivated artistic need to keep the entrenched fallacy aloft, so it could be overthrown. No visual artists had such an investment in the true nature of the equine gait. Meter is measured in feet. A foot is a syllabic unit that makes up a line of poetry. Hence pentameter has 5 feet, hexameter 6, trimeter 3, etc. There are many types of metrical feet but the 5 most common are iamb or unstressed-stressed)
