There are few great poets alive at any one time, and W. S. Merwin is one of them. Read him." - The Guardian "Merwin has attained a transcendent and transformative elevation of beaming perception, exquisite balance, and clarifying beauty." - Booklist, starred review of The Moon before Morning "Merwin has become instantly recognizable on the page." -Helen Vendler, The New York Review of Books W. S. Merwin composed Garden Time during the difficult process of losing his eyesight. When he could no longer see well enough to write, he dictated his new poems to his wife, Paula. In this gorgeous, mindful, and life-affirming book, our greatest poet channels energy from animated sounds and memories to remind us that "the only hope is to be the daylight."From "A Breath of Day": Last night I slept on the floor of the sea in an unsounded part of the oceanin the morning it was a long way upthrough the dark streets of a silent countrywith no language in its empty housesuntil I had almost reached the surfaceof a morning that I had never seenthen a breeze came to it and I beganto remember the voices of young leaves . . . W. S. Merwin served as Poet Laureate of the United States and has received every major literary accolade, including two Pulitzer prizes, most recently for The Shadow of Sirius (Copper Canyon), and the National Book Award for Migration: New and Selected Poems (Copper Canyon). He lives in Hawaii." | Garden Time by W. S. Merwin, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
