Book Synopsis Selected Poems by : William Stanley Merwin
Book excerpt: Merwin has created a special voice, unique in all of American poetry. It comes through in this selection Merwin has made from 10 of his previous books, beginning with "A Mask for Janus" and ending with "Opening the Hand." Other selections include "Lemuel's Blessing," "Air," "The River Bees," and "Fly." In "The Coin," considered to be one of his best poems, Merwin re-creates an entire fair, depicting tents, animals, flowers, and three turtledoves with a coin in the grain at the bottom of their cage.
