The next issue of Jeffers Studies—with contributions by Richard Drake, Whitney Hoth, Tim Hunt, James Karman, and Robert Zaller—is on its way to the printer. It should be ready for distribution before the February conference.
Congratulations to Jeffers scholar Deborah Fleming
In his prefatory note to Be Angry at the Sun, Jeffers laments “the obsession with contemporary history” that informs the book, pinning many of the poems to the calendar, like insects to cardboard. Contemplation of the Sword, for instance, is dated April 1938; The Day Is a Poem September 19, 1939; and
Attuned as he was to the natural rhythms of life, Jeffers spoke often about the changing seasons.
