Summary:
An elaboration and response to his Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poetry, The Shadow of Sirius (2009), W.S. Merwin examines everything from minute flowers to oceanic destruction, and weaves our complex relationship with the natural world with his own youth, memory, and intense engagement with the passing of days. With considered reverence, subtle might, and generous poetic imagination, Merwin presents a masterful and gorgeous collection.
