Praise

“One of the greatest poets of our age. He is a rare spiritual presence in American life and letters (the Thoreau of our era).” —Edward Hirsch

“Merwin has always been a contemplative poet, drawn to the lessons of the natural world and the rigors of unmediated vision. He has also been a romantic poet, heroic in his quest for the depths and intensities, the powers and possibilities of consciousness. Best of all, he has been a surprising poet, continually slipping the bonds of anyone’s easy admiration.” —The New Yorker
