- Summary:
- A strikingly beautiful new book of poems from one of our finest poets, exhibiting his artistry in the style he has made his own. To his lyrics, Merwin adds three long narrative poems: "Lament for the Makers" is his tribute to fellow poets who are gone and who had his admiration, from Dylan Thomas to James Merrill; "Testimony" is a tour de force, an autobiographical poem in the manner of Francois Villon; Suite in the Key of Forgetting is a remarkable poem about memory and memories. All in all, a masterly work by a major poet.
