Review
"[C]ontains some of the best poems he has ever written."
Review
"How compelling, how paradoxically comforting, of all things, it is to have this poet's high style so continuously sounded, so continuously darkening counsel for us, in order that, as he says, the poetry may become familiar but in no sense known."
Publisher's Note
A strikingly beautiful new book of poems from one of our finest poets, exhibiting his artistry in the style he has made his own. To his lyrics Merwin adds three long narrative poems: "Lament for the Makers" is his tribute to fellow poets who are gone and who had his admiration, from Dylan Thomas to James Merrill; "Testimony" is a tour de force, an autobiographical poem in the manner of Franois Villon; "Suite in the Key of Forgetting" is a remarkable poem about memory and memories. All in all, a masterly work by a major poet.
