Editiorial Reviews

Review (Publishers Weekly, 09/03/2001): "[T]he poems near the back of the book are the best Merwin has done for many years...."
Review by Scott E. Anderson (Philadelphia Inquirer, 04/07/2002): "[Merwin] has long expressed his alternating rage and sorrow for the increasing losses suffered by nature at the hands of man. The poems in his new book, THE PUPIL, tend toward a subtler note....Merwin has a gift for seamlessly marrying his aesthetic and political concerns in a way that does not forsake the beauty of the world for declamatory statement. This is the way of the 'world citizen.' Many poets writing today could learn a lot from his luminous example."
