Description
Summary:Consciousness and its effect on humanity and the natural world was Robinson Jeffers' obsession. Understanding and explaining the biological basis of mind is one of the towering challenges of modern science to this day, and Jeffers' poetic experiment is an important contribution to American literary history. This study traces Jeffers' creation of the poetics that expresses his sacramental-materialist vision, and it proposes that this poetics stands in contrast to modernism by its refusal to divorce mysticism from science.
