Writing from his stone tower home in Big Sur, California, Jeffers articulated perspectives that influenced deep ecological thinking.</p> <p>Jeffers&rsquo; &ldquo;inhumanism&rdquo; proposed shifting attention from humanity to the non-human world. He suggested that human self-focus diminishes capacity to appreciate mountains, oceans, and wild processes of nature. His poetry depicts nature with geological and cosmic scope, situating human events against backgrounds of deep time and vast space.</p>
