Better than Expected
Format: Paperback
Though the title impied there were new poems in this volume, I found some of my favorites, but
didn't notice any new ones. Never mind, they are wonderful, and I liked this book so much, I purchased
a copy for a friend and published poet, who's poet in the schools, Grace Grafton, who is familiar with
Merwin's writing. That made both of us happy.
On a practical level, it is easier to schlep a single volume with you than three of four,when what you
want is 'La crême de la crême.'
Makes a welcome addition to any collection, a great gift to introduce Merwin, and a pleasure to read
the smooth, ariculate poetry that is food for the soul.
