robinsonjeffers - Profile (original) (raw)
Carmel, California, United States
Welcome to the 
robinsonjeffers comm! I'm you're moderator, 
matthardwick.
This is a new comm, so not that much to say right now, other than:
* This comm is what the subheading says it is: Robinson Jeffers' life, ideas, poems, prose, and what has been written about them. I will be starting all this off by posting stuff from his
The Double Axe and other poems
, and then the plan's to post as much as I can find wherever I can find it about Jeffers and his idiosyncratic (sp?) philosophy, Inhumanism.
* I set this thing up because I liked Jeffers' stuff and didn't see much about him in the LJverse, let alone cyberspace. There is but one other blog/comm devoted to Jeffers in LJland, it's rockandhawk. Add it to your friendslist.
* Robinson Jeffers was born in 1887 and died in 1962.
* He is one hell of a poet, in the humble opinion of this moderator.;-D
* This lj comm is in no way, shape or form connected to the Robinson Jeffers Association or their website, listed in the Webpage: field above. It would like to be, but at this point, them's the breaks, y'know?;-)
If you haven't heard of Robinson Jeffers, well then you're in for a great experience. If you have, then I hope that you'll introduce yourself to the comm by leaving a reply to these questions here.
In any case, welcome!:-D
