NEA Big Read The National Endowment for the Arts 2 About the Book Introduction to Robinson Jeffers The poetry of Robinson Jeffers is distractingly memorable, not only for its strong music, but also for the hard edge of its wisdom. His verse, especially the wild, expansive narratives that made him famous in the 1920s, does not fit into the conventional definitions of modern American poetry.

  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

Courtesy ofthe Berg Collection, New York Public l ibrary 28 Elinor Wylie's Mount Desert Island Retreat Car/Little The Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1 792-1822) once voiced a desire to withdraw from the world with two yo ung girls, four or five years old, whom he would watch over as if he were their fa ther. In some sequestered spot, he would direct their education and observe the "impress ions of the world . upon the mind when it has been ve iled from human prejudice." 1 It was Elinor Wylie (1885-1 928), accl aimed writer and an authori ty on Shelley's life and writings, who conducted the poet's unusual social experiment in a short story published in the September 1927 issue of Harper 's Bazaar.2 The "seques tered spot" she chose fo r the poet and his pupils? Bar Island in the mouth of Somes H arbor. Wylie's fa nciful tale, titled ''A Birthday Cake for Lionel," opens this way: "It was the fo urth of August in the year 1832, and upon the ro und piney islet whi ch li es at the head of Somes' So und two little girls were engaged in icing a birthday cake."3 Artemis and Jezebel are making the cake fo r fo rty-year-old Li onel Anon, aka Percy Bysshe Shelley, who is away that day "fi shing the deep waters pas t Little C ranberry"-a long row even for the most hale of Romantic poets.
