Overview

Una and Robinson Jeffers raised twin sons and built a house and granite tower, which is now an historical landmark in Carmel, California. At the end of his book-length poem, Iris, Mark Jarman describes that remarkable union and place as "The house where pain and pleasure had turned to poetry and stone, and a family had been happy." Published in a small limited edition in 1939, and available only in private collections and rare book libraries until now, this new edition of Of Una Jeffers: A Memoir, includes new photographs, an index and a fascinating Introduction by the noted Jeffers scholar and author of Robinson Jeffers: Poet of California, James Karman.
