The Stone Mason of Tor House; The Life and Work of Robinson Jeffers

The only reprint of the first edition, originally printed in 1966 and designed by Ward Ritchie. This reprint was made possiible by The Tor House Foundation along with a generous contribution from Robinson Jeffer's children. Forest green cloth textured boards, stamped in silver and a matching forest green paper covered hard cardboard slipcase also stamped in silver with a central glued on cover photo of Jeffers. Both are in fine, as new condition. There is of yet no definitive biography of the controversial California poet, and the first printing of this has been out of print for many years. This is an intimate first hand portrait by Melba Berry who spent years in close contact with Jeffers. Contains a preface specific to this edition by Alex Vardamis, the President of the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation and the original preface from the 1966 edition by Melba Berry Bennett. Illustrated in black and white with family photos from the Robinson Jeffers albums. Includes reprints of many of his poems. 225 pp.
