James Merrill The Voice of the Poet Bold Type 's Poetry Editor Ernest Hilbert writes on Merrill: "If his poems appear to be so symmetrically ornate as to be almost grotesque in an era that was dominated by shabby, self-indulgent, and often irresponsibly political poems, they may be saved by this same fact. Merrill once posed the question 'think what one has to do to get a mass audience. I'd rather have one perfect reader. Why dynamite the pond in order to catch that single silver carp?'"

Amherst College News Releases Poet James Merrill To Be Remembered at Amherst College April 12 March 23, 2001 Contact: Paul Statt Director of Media Relations AMHERST, Mass.—An extraordinary gathering of friends and admirers of poet James Merrill will meet in Johnson Chapel at Amherst College on Thursday, April 12 at 4 p.m. Former poet laureate Richard Wilbur (Amherst ’42), poets Agha Shahid Ali, Daniel Hall, Glyn Maxwell, Joe Langland, Peggy O’Brien, Mary Jo Salter, Susan Snively and David Sofield will bring to life again the words of a man who wrote poetry “the way the rest of us breathe,” as poet J. D. McClatchy has said. McClatchy, one of the editors of Merrill’s critically praised new Collected Poems (Knopf, 2001), will join in the reading and remembrances. Following the reading, there will be a public reception in the Archives and Special Collections Room at the Frost Library, where a collection of Merrill manuscripts, books and memorabilia will be on display. The Ouija board and cup that Merrill and his companion David Jackson used to write The Changing Light at Sandover (1982), perhaps his best-known work, will also be on display.

As Reviewed By: Justin Quinn J ames M errill's F riends and C ritics James Merrill’s Apocalypse by Timothy Materer. Cornell UP. Familiar Spirits: A Memoir of James Merrill and David Jackson by Alison Lurie. Viking. E-mail this site to a friend The publication of James Merrill ’s Collected Poems this year has made his long poem, The Changing Light at Sandover , appear somewhat eccentric to the course of his career. While some of his outstanding lyric powers are in evidence in the long poem, they are drowned out by the unremitting prose and theories of science. One can’t take it seriously as a comment on the state of civilization, and one can’t take it seriously as an extension of the tradition of the long poem. It is perhaps best considered as an oblique autobiography which picks up the thread where his memoir, A Different Person , left off, and traces the poet’s life into middle-age. The two books under review here are both concerned with it and they complement each other well: their central concern is James Merrill’s long poem, The Changing Light at Sandover , and they disagree fundamentally about it. For Materer, the theme of apocalypse is not restricted to

50. CPR - James Merrill: Reviving Merrill By Ernest Hilbert once declared that Robinson’s “stock does not stand very high at present andis not likely to rise.” Then there is the case of james merrill, a colossus http://www.cprw.com/Hilbert/Merrill.htm

As Reviewed By: Ernest Hilbert R eviving M errill Collected Poems by James Merrill. Knopf, 2001. E-mail this site to a friend Standings of poets and their poems are susceptible to the same caprices and reweighings that threaten (or grace) all historical subjects, but theirs is a very delicate pedestal, tethered to earth for balance by three cords of various constriction or slackness: critical estimation, publisher loyalty, and public readership. Of course these three are often tangled, and if one goes taut, the others are taken up. John Donne remained a largely obscure poet until the modernists—notably T. S. Eliot in his essays The Varieties of Metaphysical Poetry and New Critic Cleanth Brooks in The Well Wrought Urn —resuscitated his poetry, canonized it, if you like, in both possible senses of the word. The rugged English poet of the Second World War, Keith Douglas, who died at age 24 on the beaches of Normandy, had his first book published only in 1951, and it wasn’t until the 1970s, when Ted Hughes, who sensed an affinity with Douglas’s partly lyrical, partly cynical, and all but Spartan view of life, took it upon himself to popularize his work again. Since, Douglas has enjoyed the publication of his Collected Poems , a biography, his memoir ( Alamein to Zem Zem ), and, as of last month, his letters. Quite the opposite is more often the case, the abrupt or sometimes excruciatingly gradual slip from fame and recognition. For instance, Edgar Arlington Robinson was once the favorite of Teddy Roosevelt and a best-seller, but for eight decades his allotted pages in anthologies have shriveled with age and may eventually include only standards such as ‘Miniver Cheevy’ and ‘Mr. Flood’s Party’, before disappearing altogether. In the easy (somewhat glib) manner of critics who adopt financial nomenclature when relaying judgment on poets, William H. Pritchard once declared that Robinson’s “stock does not stand very high at present and is not likely to rise.”

The mid-century Golden Boy of American poetry. While the wild-eyed, wild- haired beat poets and bards of pop song took Walt Whitman’s style to the edge of meaning to howl about the condition of American society, Merrill looked into his own world and with great lyrical precision forged that “idiom peculiar to himself.” Merrill was born into the Aristocracy of Money. His father co-founded Merrill Lynch. It was a world of beauty and refinement, with Merrill himself the most beautiful and refined thing in it. What's your favorite James Merrill poem, and why?

What his eye fell on he wrote about, from emerald rings to Ouija boards. Golden boy, silver voice.
