Description
This edited collection explores the work of highly awarded and twice American Poet Laureate W.
S. Merwin. Spanning Merwin’s early career, his mid-career success, his Hawaiian epic, his eco-poetry, his lesser-known later poetry and the influence of Buddhism on his work, the volume offers new perspectives on Merwin as a major poet.
Exploring his works across the twentieth and twenty-first century, this collection presents Merwin as a necessary and contemporary poet.
It emphasizes contemporary readings of Merwin as an environmental advocate, showing how his poetry seeks to help each reader re-establish an intimate relationship with the natural world.
It also highlights how Merwin’s work presents our place in history as a pivotal moment of transition into a new era of international cooperation.
This volume both celebrates his life and writing and takes scholarship on his work forward into the new century.
