The poems in this volume have a steady flow as if he were sitting in a patio poking at overgrown weeds with the tip of his shoe while musing without particular intensity on time and the way sounds are with us and then gone. Most of us, though, eventually tire of a steady murmur, and start listening for brighter sounds. There are few of these in this opus. The long poem "Testimony" soon palls with its earnestness. It has none of the roguishness of Villon's poem, which he references. I wish someone had been brave enough to put a blue pencil to it before it was published, for there are some poignant lines and pretty turns here and there. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A strikingly beautiful 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. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Calm as the poems are, the collection still floats along with an inner tension, and I'd recommend it to any poetry lover without hesitation. ( )
