The Atom To Be Split
This book collects new and selected essays by Robert Zaller on the work and career of one of America's foremost poets, Robinson Jeffers, whose prophetic verse speaks increasingly to our moment. Broadening and extending Zaller's previous studies of Jeffers, it offers a comprehensive perspective on Jeffers' unique place in modern literature.

Robinson Jeffers and the American Sublime
Robinson Jeffers and the American Sublime is the most comprehensive and most substantial critical work ever devoted to the major American poet Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962). Jeffers, the best known poet of California and the American West, particularly valorized the Big Sur region, making it his own as Frost did New England and Faulkner, Mississippi, and connecting it to the wider tradition of the American sublime in Emerson, Thoreau, and John Muir. The book also links Jeffers to a Puritan sublime in early American verse and explores his response to the Darwinian and Freudian revolutions and his engagement with modern astronomy. This discussion leads to a broad consideration of Jeffers' focus on the figure of Christ as emblematic of the human aspiration toward God—a God whom Jeffers defines not in Christian terms but in those of an older materialist pantheism and of modern science. The later sections of the book develop a conspectus of the democratic sublime that addresses American exceptionalism through the prism of Jeffers' Jeffersonian ethos. A final chapter places Jeffers' poetic thought in the larger cosmological perspective he sought in his late works.

"These fine poems evoke not only the extraordinary beauty of their subject, but also a sense of immanent grandeur that lies behind it"--Richard Burgin as quoted on page [4] of cover.
