Description - River Sound by W. S. Merwin

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and "one of the greatest poets of our age ... the Thoreau of our era" (Edward Hirsch) comes a masterly work of poems, exhibiting the artistry and style he made his own.

A strikingly beautiful book of poems from one of our finest poets. 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.
