Here's where the trek willl end: Hawk Tower, Tor House, in Carmel, California. I chose Tor House because it's the home of the poet Robinson Jeffers. I first read Jeffers as an undergraduate, then studied him at great length while in graduate school. Jeffers' voice is one of the great poets that chatter away in my head. I'm always hearing "The broken pillar of the wing jags," in reference to the great bird in "Hurt Hawk." Thus, Hawk Tower.
