Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is not only the greatest poet that
California (and indeed the American West) has produced but a major
poet of the twentieth century who occupies a prominent place in the
tradition of American prophetic poetry.
Jeffers consciously set himself apart from the poetry of his
generation--by physical isolation at his home in Carmel, by his
unusual poetic form, and by his stance as an "anti-modernist." Yet
his work represents a profound, and profoundly original, artistic
response to problems that shaped modernist poetry and that still
perplex poets today.
For Jeffers, as for no other important modern American poet, there
has never been a collected poems, not even a truly representative
selected poems--the current "Selected Poetry, " first published in
1938, contains no poems from the last three volumes published
during Jeffers's lifetime or from his posthumous volume. Now, for
the first time, all of Jeffers's completed poems, both published
and unpublished, are presented in a single, comprehensive, and
textually authoritative edition of five volumes.
The present volume is in three parts. "Poetry 1903-1920" consists
of some of the poems published while Jeffers was a college student,
two early collections ("Flagons and Apples" and "Californians"),
and a number of poems that were never published or were recently
rediscovered. "Introductions, Forewords, and Miscellaneous Prose,
1920-1948" gathers all the major prose works. "Unpublished Poems
and Fragments, 1910-1962" is mostly material that Jeffers never
published, and apparently never tried to publish. The fifth volume
of commentary will contain various procedural explanations and
textual evidence for the texts presented in the edition, as well as
transcriptions of working notes for the poems and of alternate and
discarded passages. The "Collected Poetry" is designed by Adrian
Wilson.
