Selected Poems of James Merrill

James Merrill himself once called his body of work â€œchronicles of love and loss,â€ and in twenty books written over four decades he used the details of his own lifeâ€”comic and haunting, exotic and domesticâ€”to shape a portrait that in turn mirrored the image of our world and our moment. This volume brings together the best of Merrillâ€”from the domestic rupture of â€œThe Broken Homeâ€ to the universal connections of â€œLost in Translationâ€; from the American storyteller of â€œThe Summer Peopleâ€ to the ecologically motivated satirist of â€œSelf-Portrait in a TyvekTM Windbreaker.â€ Merrill dazzles at every turn, and this balanced and compact selection will be an ideal introduction to the work for both students and general readers, and an instant favorite among his familiars.

Log
Then when the flame forked like a sudden path
I gasped and stumbled, and was less.
Density pulsing upward, gauze of ash,
Dear light along the way to nothingness,
What could be made of you but light, and this?
