Bio
Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) was an American poet whose lyrical and dramatic work, often set on the California coast, explores the relationship between humanity and nature. His style is known for its strength and clarity, with verses that reflect a disenchanted view of civilization and a deep admiration for the natural world. Jeffers advocated for an 'inhumanist' perspective, which emphasized humanity's insignificance in the face of the vastness of the universe. Poems such as 'Tamar', 'The Tower beyond Tragedy', and 'Roan Stallion' are representative of his style and his philosophical and ecological concerns.
