Famous enough in his own day to grace the cover of
Time
magazine and get his own
stamp
, Jeffers is unfortunately little known compared to his former prominence. (He is the second most famous resident of
Carmel, California
and still celebrated there;
Clint Eastwood
, who might share some of Jeffers' sensibilities, is the first.) Disdainful of
civilization
, he retreated to
California
, which was still wilderness in the early part of this century. To Jeffers, the only escape from the corrupting influence of civilization was to seperate one's self from it and cultivate
self-reliance
. His pessimistic outlook and admiration of the
wild
are powerfully articulated in his poetry.
