Entry: The Robinson Jeffers-Charles Bukowski Connection Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_robinson_jeffers_charles_bukowski_connection#11643 Post contents: Adriana, Amen; a pox on both their houses. The Jeffers I studied/taught back in grad school was labeled an "anti-humanist." His fierce love for the power and beauty of nature was often contrasted with his contempt for the vacillating mendacity of men. From "Hurt Hawks" (from memory) "I'd sooner kill a man than a hawk; But the great red-tail had nothing left but unable misery. I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. . . . The night herons by the flooded river cried out at its rising, before it was quite unsheathed from reality." Rest in peace, Jeffers, and may your love for God's wild creation find its fulfillment in the eternal Kingdom. Sent at: 2008 08 30
