Study of Forestry at University of Washington
Poet involved
What happened
In 1907, Robinson Jeffers shifted his focus to forestry at the University of Washington. This change reflected his growing connection to the natural world and his desire to engage with environmental themes. The lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest further inspired his appreciation for nature's beauty and complexity.
Literary impact
Studying forestry deepened Jeffers' understanding of nature, which became a central theme in his poetry. His experiences in the forests of Washington influenced his portrayal of the natural world as both beautiful and indifferent, a hallmark of his 'inhumanism' philosophy.
