A Tor House Tour

By Kaweah

Welcome to Tor House. From 1919 to 1962 this was the home, muse, and project of Robinson Jeffers, one of America's premiere poets. But this stone compound is more than a celebrity house or a historical curiosity. Tor House was essential to the development of the poet, and it remains a monument to the strivings of the human spirit. It is full of artifacts and memories of a great literary endeavor and the troubles and triumphs of a poet and the insightful woman who shepherded his artistic development. It is a place of industry and enlightenment, but also a place of failure, of depression and strife, of jealousy and tragedy, sickness, death, and mourning. It is also a place of dry humor. Yes, it's haunted, but not by disembodied souls: the only soul that lives here is the cold sea-granite of Carmel Point. This house is haunted, rather, by the mind that remembers - by you and me, as we pass between and through its chambers.
