In poetry of great scope and precise detail, Robinson Jeffers discovered the divinity of nature as it is understood by modern science. Jeffers documented his discoveries in thrilling and violent “verse novels,” set in California’s coastal mountains, and meditative lyric poems that express an environmental secular faith that is still relevant today.
Occidental College is celebrating the work of Robinson Jeffers in the month of October as a part of the NEA’s The Big Read. For more Big Read events with Occidental check out http://www.oxy.edu/x8952.xml.
