“[I]t is hard to see how anyone can read Jeffers’s best poetry and not perceive greatness. His narrative verse rivals Wordsworth’s or Byron’s. It is electrifying; the skin prickles. . . . We will lose something of value if we let Jeffers slip away. He expresses California’s peculiar ambience with unsurpassed vividness."—Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Tim Hunt, one of the nation's leading Jeffers scholars, has done a masterful job of sorting and choosing from a huge amount of material.”—San Francisco Chronicle
