David J. Rothman, current RJA President, has just published a new essay on Jeffers and Merwin, A Prophecy of the Present: W. S. Merwin and the Legacy of Robinson Jeffers, in the current issue of an on-line journal, Sugar Mule. It is an expansion of the remarks he delivered when introducing Merwin at the 14th annual RJA conference in Honolulu in 2007.
Rothman is also teaching a four-week class on Jeffers, “Reading as a Writer: Robinson Jeffers,” through Lighthouse Writers Workshop.
