- Title
The Point Alma Venus Manuscripts by Robinson Jeffers (review).
- Authors
Willard, Cory
- Abstract
"The Point Alma Venus Manuscripts" is a book edited by Tim Hunt and Robert Kafka that collects Robinson Jeffers's four attempts at exploring the Rev. Dr. Barclay story, which eventually became the basis of his work "The Women at Point Sur." The manuscripts provide insights into Jeffers's writing process, including notations, marginalia, and crossed-out words. Each attempt shows Jeffers grappling with big questions about power, human consciousness, and the nature of God. While the book may have a limited readership, it offers valuable insights for scholars and fans of Jeffers's longform narrative poetry.
