Now, for the first time, all of Jeffers's completed poems, both published and unpublished, are presented in a single, comprehensive, and textually authoritative edition of five volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present volume is in three parts. \"Poetry 1903-1920\" consists of some of the poems published while Jeffers was a college student, two early collections (\u003ci\u003eFlagons and Apples\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCalifornians\u003c\/i\u003e), and a number of poems that were never published or were recently rediscovered. \"Introductions, Forewords, and Miscellaneous Prose, 1920-1948\" gathers all the major prose works. \"Unpublished Poems and Fragments, 1910-1962\" is mostly material that Jeffers never published, and apparently never tried to publish. The fifth volume of commentary will contain various procedural explanations and textual evidence for the texts presented in the edition, as well as transcriptions of working notes for the poems and of alternate and discarded passages. The \u003ci\u003eCollected Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e is designed by Adrian Wilson.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robinson Jeffers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294774669563,"sku":"9780804738163","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780804738163.jpg?v=1772482434","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-collected-poetry-of-robinson-jeffers-9780804738163","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
