Description
W.S. Merwin's latest collection, Garden Time, is a poignant and deeply personal work that explores the passage of time and the power of memory. Composed during his late 80s, as he struggled with declining eyesight, these poems are a testament to the enduring energy of the human spirit. In this beautiful and reflective book, Merwin channels the sounds and memories of his life into a vision of the eternal, focusing on the interconnectedness of time, space, and the natural world. With imagery drawn from morning sunrises, sunset skies, shifting seasons, stars, birds, and insects, he reminds us that 'the only hope is to be the daylight'.
