Description

US Poet Laureate W.S. Merwin's latest collection presents the nuanced mysteries of light, darkness, presence, and memory. At 82, Merwin produces his best work in a decade, one that has won him his second Pulitzer Prize in the US and a Poetry Book Society Recommendation in the UK. In 'Photographer' and 'Empty Lot', Merwin evokes powerful scenes from his life, where memories are focused and profound. He reflects on autumn light, childhood experiences, well-cultivated loves, and the passing of time. These poems invite readers to consider how we navigate our lives, amidst the complexities of existence. With its thoughtful exploration of human experience, this collection is a significant addition to Merwin's oeuvre.
