Description
A volume bringing back into print three volumes by one of the most celebrated poets in American letters. Following The Second Four Books, this collection returns to print a large body of work by one of the premier poets of this century. United States Poet Laureate W.S. Merwin was the first recipient of the Tanning Prize, awarded to “a master poet." James Merrill commented that indeed, “here before us, and for many years to come, we have in William Merwin an embodied emblem of the best we can hope for, both as artist and citizen of the world."
