William Everson's elegy on the death of poet Robinson Jeffers is considered one of the most powerful elegies in American literature. The text has been available to readers for twenty-five years, but Everson waited until the 100th anniversary of Jeffers' birth to issue this Centenary Edition which includes a new strophe of nine lines, and correcting errors from previous printings. It is illustrated with linoleum cuts by Tom Killion, known for his strong renditions of California's coastline.
