In this time of Covid, the Robinson Jeffers Association and Tor House Foundation have decided to experiment with on-line programming for our members and for the broader community of those who value the work of Robinson Jeffers. These programs will, we expect, be quarterly, engage a range of topics, include a variety of presenters from the two organizations, and use a variety of on-line formats. 

 The first program, a panel discussion, will focus on "The Purse-Seine," a poem from the mid-1930s that offers a context for reflection for our current cultural, social, and ecological situation. The panelists will be Jim Karman, President of the Robinson Jeffers Association; Elliot Ruchowitz-Roberts, President of the Tor House Foundation, and Susan Shillinglaw, the former Director of the National Steinbeck Center. Tim Hunt will moderate.

 The panel discussion will be July 29, 6:30-7:30 p.m. (PDT).

 For the text of "The Purse-Seine," download the PDF "handout."

 We hope you'll join us in this new venture. If you would like to attend the panel discussion, it will be available both via Zoom and Facebook.
