Migration: New and Selected Poems

W. S. Merwin · 2005 CE · Poem · Modern / American · Contemporary

A selection from the poet's books of the half-century from 1952 to 2005, drawn from the early formal verse through the unpunctuated lyrics of loss and the Hawaiian forest. It is a retrospective volume and carries no narrative of its own. Admitted as the volume that won the 2005 National Book Award, with the granularity flagged; The Shadow of Sirius is the cleaner Merwin entry.
