In the Hill at New Grange

In the Hill at New Grange is the longest of the poems in Descent to the Dead. It looks as though Jeffers might have conceived it as a narrative project at some point, though it takes the form of a conversation.

In the Hill at New Grange has been included in Robert Hass’ anthology Rock and Hawk (1987) and also Tim Hunt’s Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers (2001).
