Professor’s Corner: Robert Penn Warren and Robinson Jeffers

Robert Penn Warren

Professor’s Corner, a discussion group devoted to literary texts, will meet at the South Branch on Wednesday, December 14 at 7 pm.  Keri Overall, professor of English at Texas Woman’s University, will lead a discussion about the symbolism of the red-tailed hawk in some poems by Robert Penn Warren and Robinson Jeffers.

 

The Southern poet, Robert Penn Warren, and the Western poet, Robinson Jeffers, though separated by nearly forty years, both employed the red-tailed hawk in several poems.   For both poets, the hawk was a symbol of the downfall of power and man’s destructive effects on the natural world.  We will discuss two poems by Warren and two poems by Jeffers that focus on the red-tailed hawk and reveal a striking similarity in their importance for the authors’ lives and in their view of the world.

 

When:             Wednesday, December 14 at 7:00 pm

Where:           Denton Public Library – South Branch

                        3228 Teasley Lane in Denton

 

For more information, please call (940) 349-8752 or email Fred.Kamman@cityofdenton.com.
