Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Second printing. Signed and dated in the year of publication by W.S. Merwin on the half-title. A very full selection with many sides: brief lyrics and long narratives, all of them marked by a moving and profound sense of the natural world and the presence in it of living creatures. The narratives are a departure for this poet, dealing as they do with historical figures: "Rimbaud's Piano" is an extended meditation on the poet; others deal with naturalists such as William Bartram, Georg Eberhard Rumpf ("The Blind Seer of Ambon"), and David Douglas; and in "The Real World of Manuel Cordova" he tells a story almost as enthralling as Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Octavo. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed and dated in the year of publication by W.S. Merwin on the title page. Merwin's 18th book of poetry pays tribute to real and poetic landscapes whose presence, the environmentally conscious poet modestly hopes, should outlast our own. In addition to his lyrics, it includes 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; and "Suite in the Key of Forgetting" is a remarkable poem about memory and memories. Octavo. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
