Karman's book offers a short, insightful and useful biography of a fascinating American poet. Shorn of the reams of biographical details that many biographical tomes feature, this is a book that helps readers who may have little or only a passing familiarity with Jeffers' work the opportunity to appreciate his background, intellectual heritage, and influences - not least the interplay between his rich literary gifts and the beauty of the Central California coast. Before reading it, I found Jeffers' work difficult to get into. After reading it, his work is no less difficult, but surely more comprehensible. Karman has done a service for readers, illuminating a life and adding to understanding. He avoids hagiography, deals fairly with the poet's personal shortcomings, and delivers the goods quickly and clearly. The later material on the self-destructive tendencies of Jeffers' boho artist friends is worth the price of admission and would make a hilarious, if dark, comedy.
