Soft cover. Condizione: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Stated First Printing. 347pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Winner of both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in poetry, W.S. Merwin collects all of his enigmatic short prose in THE BOOK OF FABLES. Originally published as The Miner's Pale Children and Houses and Travellers, Merwin's prose pieces echo the work of Borges, Kafka, and Bowles as they blur the distinction between poetry, essay, and fiction and challenge the arbitrary barriers between genres. [] Like many of Merwin's poems, his 'fables' plumb the depths of modern consciousness through use of metaphor, and surrealist visions. Running from a single sentence to a dozen pages they create imaginative landscapes both sensuous and severe, while exploring how we experience memory, sight, and the voyages we make in our dreams." [publisher copy] "With remarkable ease Merwin parades his mastery of half a dozen tonalities--fussy aridities and rich mythologizing, emblems, tales, memories, riddles . . . The imaginative largesse of this book of prose is astonishing."--The Nation. "Metaphors, puns, surrealist visions, converted into sharp, disturbing little narratives . . . only a poet, and a good one, could have written it."--The Atlantic Monthly. "These bits of prose are magical . . . The power of Merwin's prose must be experienced to be understood."--Saturday Review. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. A beautiful Copper Canyon production, quite presentable. …
