WM Interview W.S. 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

book review WHAT'S NEW LIBRARY FEATURES REVIEWS ... book reviews : The River Sound by W.S. Merwin The River Sound W.S. Merwin The River Sound W.S. Merwin Alfred A. Knopf New York 1999 Merchandise Links US Edition: BN.com 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.

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."

11. On Reading W.S. Merwin, By James DeFord A poem published to the 'net by author James DeFord at DeFord's website. http://www.lnstar.com/mall/james/merwin.htm

ON READING W. S. MERWIN in the NEW YORKER I was reading a poem by W. S. Merwin in the New Yorker the other day and as usual I was feeling pretty intimidated by all those long lines he always writes and of course all the stuff that was going to be in there about how things look in New England especially in the fall and maybe even trout fishing and what it all means to the human soul on a universal level because Fall in New England is always dynamic and everywhere else is parochial but I decided to read his poem anyway because I thought maybe I could just stand it and he started in by talking about a barn door and some stones on a hillside and an old man hoeing the dirt which seemed allright to me even though it was as usual Fall in New England because I really liked the imagery he made which is something I always like because it puts pictures in my head even if I am parochial and never even seen New England in the Fall when he started in to saying as to how all this imagery really felt to him which also meant how his personal feelings were all about what the universal condition of man is and I got to thinking about how glad I was I wasn't in some English class again because those last five or six lines about universal New England consciousness are always the ones your freshman English instructor wants you to write a six page double-spaced paper on and I hate it when that happens James DeFord Return to Poetry Corner Merwin's Backyard

Night when the south wind wakes the owl and the owl says it is summer now it is time to be summer it is time for that departure though the blanket dates from childhood it is time whoever you are to be going they are older every one of them there is spring no longer this is the south wind you have heard about that brings rain taking away roofs with a breath and a season of grapes in one blind unpredictable moment of hail this is the white wind that you cannot believe here it is and the owl sails out to see whose turn it is tonight to be changed You who waited here before me in silence mothers of silence I always knew you were present whether or not I could see you in your gray clouds your high corners spinners of the depths of shadows who recur without memory rising from beneath the moment as it breathes trembles and is gone bearers of a message not known heirs of an unseen lineage this is the moment to thank you for ever appearing to me through these years keepers of no word attentive in this mute room while the bird sang and the rain murmured and the voice echoed from the road patient guardians who revealed in each sound the hour of the fly Excerpted from The Pupil Random House.
