Merwin In a career spanning five decades, W.S. Merwin, poet, translator and environmental activist, has become one of the most widely read - and imitated - poets in America. He was born in 1927 the son of a Presbyterian minister for whom he began writing hymns at the age of five. As a young man, from 1949 to 1951, W.S. Merwin went to Europe and discovered a facility for languages that led to work as a literary translator. Over the years, his poetic voice has moved from the more formal and medieval shaded by the influence of Robert Graves and of the medieval poetry he was then translating - to a more distinctly American voice, following his two years in Boston where he got to know Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes
The Richmond Review, Book Review, The River Sound By W.S. Merwin
Book Review The River Sound by W.S. merwin
http://www.richmondreview.co.uk/books/riversou.html

Extractions: It is hard to believe that The River Sound is only 134 pages long. For these are not poems that, for the most part, can be easily grasped. They must be pondered, reflecting as they do Merwin's recurrent themes of the mysterious passage of time, the defining yet unreliable character of memory, human aspiration in the contemporary context of radical ecological destruction, the limits of language, and other essentially epistemological concerns that do not readily admit of resolution. Merwin's poems seldom provide unambiguous conclusions. Rather, they evoke moods through which one can see oneself, and the human enterprise, in new and unexpected ways. Their shimmering, dream-like qualities compel us to examine what we think we know about ourselves and our lives. They engender worlds somewhat aslant to the one we habitually occupy. The freshness and vitality of the poems in The River Sound is especially noteworthy from a poet now in his early seventies. The poems less represent, as one might anticipate, the culmination of a distinguished writing career sixteen earlier books of poetry; four volumes of prose memoirs and essays; eighteen collections of masterful translations from European and Asian languages than a revisiting of familiar themes and places with new resources of language and experience.

Extractions: Pulitzer Prize Winner W.S. Merwin GRANVILLE - Poet, translator and environmental activist W.S. Merwin will be the next guest lecturer in the Beck Lecture Series at Denison University. Merwin will read from his works at 8 p.m. Monday (Oct. 16th) in the Slayter Auditorium. At the age of five, Merwin began writing hymns for his father, a Presbyterian minister. As a young man he traveled to Europe and discovered a facility for languages that led to his work as a literary translator. During the early 1950's Merwin worked as a tutor of Latin, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Among his students were the children of poet Robert Graves. Merwin's travels have influenced his poetry. His poetic voice has moved from the more formal and medieval - shaded by the influence of Robert Graves and of the medieval poetry he was translating - to a more distinctly American voice, following two years in Boston where he got to know Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Adrienne Rich and Donald Hall. Merwin's form escapes punctuation and his themes reflect his deeply held beliefs about pacifism, environmentalism and anti-imperialism. Merwin's first book, "A Mask for Janus," was chosen by W. H. Auden in 1952 to be published in the Yale Younger Poets Series. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his book of poems, "The Carrier of the Ladders." Author of 10 books, Merwin also has been awarded the Tanning Prize, the Bollingen Prize, and the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, among others. In April of 1999, Merwin was named poetry consultant to the Library of Congress, a jointly held position with poets Rita Dove and Louise Gluck. His latest works include a book of poetry, "The River Sound," and a translation of Dante's "Purgatorio."
