Hurt Hawks Comments

He was kind to look after a hawk and nurse it back to health.

Powerful, tight and great writing.

Great poem, but the “lead gift” is a bullet, pronounced “led,” not the verb “lead.”

I, too, am crying, reading this even silently; also about his dear dog Haig...

Because of Ronbinson Jeffers, the world is a more compassionate place for the voiceless and powerless.

I have trouble reading this aloud. It is to cry.

Possibly the best poem ever written, unquestionably in the top five.
