I am so pleased to have followed Tim Miller’s blog. Today he has posted eleven Robinson Jeffers poems, leading me to wonder why I’ve neglected Jeffers for so long. It’s time to return.

I plan on spending some time with RJ’s poetry. It’s been so long he seems like a new poet to me. Such rich language and depth!

i never heard of him until i read Tim’s To the House of the Sun & he puts Jeffers to good use there. Tim’s writing on history & religion is very thoughtful too, always impartial, & delivered confidently but without any vitiating over tones, which would be easy for him to justify based on the depth of his sources.

I’ve always liked his rich language, but somehow he fell off my radar. Glad he’s back on it.

I need to go to school on poetry and poets now that I am tentatively wandering into the “pool” myself. Thanks for helping!

It is nerve-racking and doubt inducing. So many people say so much, so much better than I, why spoil a great thing by speaking up? But then again… I also feel that maybe staying silent and not speaking for the profundities/characters that have made themselves known to me would do them injustice?
I will persist in letting the Muse do her own work…
