An episode from 10/26/20: Tonight, I read six poems from the Last Poems of Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962):

\\n

\\n
• Explosion
\\n
• Vulture
\\n
• \'The polar ice-caps are melting, the mountain glaciers\'
\\n
• \'As the eye fails through age or disease\'
\\n
• \'It nearly cancels my fear of death, my dearest said\'
\\n
• \'I am seventy-four years old and suddenly all my strength\'
\\n

\\n

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