An episode from 11/5/2020: Tonight, I read a handful of poems from Robinson Jeffers\'s late collection, Hungerfield. The book, especially the title poem, is taken up with the death of Jeffers\'s wife, Una, in 1950:

\\n

\\n
• Animals
\\n
• Time of Disturbance
\\n
• The Beauty of Things
\\n
• The World\'s Wonders
\\n
• The Old Stone-Mason
\\n
• excerpt from Hungerfield
\\n
• De Rerum Virtute
\\n
• The Deer Lay Down Their Bones
\\n

\\n

Jeffers remains one of the few poets who remain just as strong, or even become a better poet, in old age. Buy \\u2060The Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers\\u2060 or Volume 3 of \\u2060The Collected Poems of Robinson Jeffers\\u2060.
