“In Travels, one of the most beautiful and moving collections of poetry of his career, W. S. Merwin displays his narrative gifts to provide us with a book of deep historical resonance and luminous poetic grace…With each new book we have been reminded why, for forty years, he has remained a pivotal figure in the literary life of this country…[he] continues to earn his place as one of our most influential and compelling contemporary poets.”
—David St. John, Los Angeles Times Book Review
