Summary: Some of the most powerful poetry you can find.
Comment: There are five volumes in the Jeffers Collected Poetry edition and there's also a new Selected Poetry single volume edition. Whether you want all of Jeffers' poetry or a sample of it, give yourself a treat and buy one of the books. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 are poetry while volume 4 is prose and unpublish poetry. Volume 5 is the detective story that tells how the edition's editor compiled the first four volumes. Volume 5 is a must read for anyone who wants to know the publishing process and should be read by lit teachers and students and emerging poets. The Selected Poetry contains some of the best of Jeffers so if you want a sample that ranges throughout his career, buy that volume.

Jeffers should be read by those who like poetry based on rhythm and pacing and those who want to experience the strong masculine voice of the poet.

Summary: third volume of poetry; covering WWII to death in 1962
Comment: If you take the time to read this, I am preaching to the believers. Nevertheless, I believe it is wonderful to finally have ALL of the mature poetry of America's most powerful user of the English language in poetry, bar none. While this volume, overall, lacks the sustained force of Volume 1, where you can view the ascendancy of his poetic voice and power, and Volume 2, where you can experience a sustained force of language the likes of which it has not been my privelege to read elsewhere in forty years as a bibliophile, it is good to view the total experience of Jeffers' work, to see that even in his 70's he was a force to be reckoned with. Do yourself a favor and read all three volumes.
