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 20th century who occupies a prominent place in the tradition of American prophetic poetry. This volume covers his work from 1939-1962.

"An edition intended to clarify a 'Jeffers canon, ' establishing for times to come the verse legacy of a poet who looked on all things with the eyes of eternity."--San Francisco Chronicle
"In its entirety, this project will, one hopes, reintroduce America to one of its greatest poets, and regain for him his rightful eminence. . . . Jeffers is the last of the major poets of his generation--Frost, Stevens, Williams, Pound, Moore, Eliot--to get his collected poems. Now that the job is at hand, it is done very well. . . . Tim Hunt has been painstaking in his editorial preparation and judicious in his presentation. . . . A great poet is ready for his due."--Philadelphia Inquirer
