Now, for the first time, all of Jeffers' completed poems, both published and unpublished, are presented in a single, comprehensive, and textually authoritative edition.\nThe first three volumes of this four-volume work, will present chronologically all of Jeffers' published work from 1920 to 1963. The present volume consists of poems published between 1920 and 1928, and includes some of his greatest and best-known poems―Tamar,Roan Stallion,The Women at Point Sur, and Cawdor―as well as a recently discovered long poem, \"Home.\" There is also an Editorial Note and a General Introduction.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0804714142\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0804714142.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hunt, Tim|Jeffers, Robinson\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
