Scholars Index Familiar Spirits : A Memoir of James Merrill and David Jackson by Alison Lurie A leading American novelist's memory of a major contemporary American poet and the spirits that haunted his most celebrated and controversial work, Alison Lurie is known for the sophisticated satire and Pulitzer-winning prose of her novels and stories. In Familiar Spirits , she lovingly evokes two true-life intimates who are now lost to her. In her signature mix of comedy and analysis Lurie recalls Merrill and his longtime partner, David Jackson and their lives together in New York, Athens, Stonington, Connecticut, and Key West. Familiar Spirits reveals both the worldly and other worldly sources of what Merrill called his "chronicles of love and loss." Merrill was known for the autobiographical element in his work and here, we are introduced to the over thirty years of Ouija board sessions that brought gods and ghosts into his and David Jackson's lives, and also into Merill's brilliant book length poem

    Extractions: SPECIAL SALEany 100 Dalkey titles for $500 Best known as a poet, James Merrill is also an accomplished novelist, and in The (Diblos) Notebook artfully lays bare the process of writing a novel. A young American writer keeps a notebook that records at one and the same time a series of events on the Greek island of Diblos in which he is deeply involved, and his attempts to transform these events into a novel. Everything that might be found in such a notebook is used here with great cunning: the false starts that end in the middle of a thought; the endless revisions, canceled out in the search for the right word or phrase; the many approaches and backtrackings as the writer seeks an entrance to the materials through several possible doors; the musings on how the material is to be treated; and the wrestlings with the problem of appearance and assumed reality. The author has written an afterword for this edition of his 1965 novel. "

    Extractions: Merrill, James Merrill, James (James Ingram Merrill), , American poet, b. New York City. One of the most admired poets of his generation, he is noted for the technical virtuosity, elegant formality, refined lyricism, and witty urbanity of verse that, while always reserved, became more autobiographical, intimate, and colloquial over the years. His early volumes include First Poems Water Street Nights and Days The Fire Screen (1969), and Braving the Elements (1972). In the brilliant Divine Comedies (1976; Pulitzer Prize) and The Changing Light at Sandover (1982) Merrill used the device of a Ouija board to invoke the spirit of his aesthetic forebears. Among later volumes are Late Settings (1985) and A Scattering of Salts (1995).

James Cushing Merrill, military surgeon and naturalist, the son of James Cushing and Jane (Hammond) Merrill, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on March 26, 1853. He received his early education at private schools in Cambridge and Boston and then went to Germany to begin his medical education. He returned later to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his medical degree in 1874. In 1875 he was commissioned assistant surgeon in the United States Army and assigned to St. Louis Barracks, Missouri. His next assignment was Fort Brown, Texas, where from February 1876 to June 1878 he made observations and collections of the avifauna. His annotated list of 252 species was published as "Notes on the Ornithology of Southern Texas" in the Proceedings of the United States National Museum Although the bird life of the lower Rio Grande valley had been studied by Jean Louis Berlandier, Henry Eeles Dresser, qqv and the naturalists of the International Boundary Commission (later the International Boundary and Water Commissionqv), it was still incompletely known during the 1870s. Merrill's study and that of George Burritt Sennett, qv which was published the same year, served to expand the observations of earlier naturalists and to draw attention to the unique avifauna of this region of Texas. Twelve species and subspecies of birds were recorded by Merrill as being new to the fauna of the United States. Most of the nests and eggs that Merrill collected were deposited in the National Museum, and many of the birdskins were given to his friend William Brewster at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge. In addition to birds, Merrill also collected other zoological specimens, particularly insects.
