S. Merwin now gives us \u003ci\u003eThe Pupil.\u003c\/i\u003e These are poems of great lyrical intensity, concerned with darkness and light, with the seasons, and with the passing of time across landscapes that are both vast and minutely imagined. They capture the bittersweet joys of vanishing wilderness; anger at our political wrong-doings; the sensuality that memory can engender. Here are remembrances of the poet’s youth, lyrics on the loss of loved ones, echoes from the surfaces of the natural world. Here, too, is the poet’s sense of a larger mystery:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e... we know\u003cbr\u003efrom the beginning that the darkness\u003cbr\u003eis beyond us there is no explaining\u003cbr\u003ethe dark it is only the light\u003cbr\u003ethat we keep feeling a need to account for\u003cbr\u003e—from “The Marfa Lights”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Passionate, rigorous, and quietly profound, \u003ci\u003eThe Pupil\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential addition to the canon of contemporary American poetry—a book that finds W. S. Merwin’s singularly resonant voice at the height of its power.","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43373615710463,"sku":"9780375709647","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780375709647_s600x595.jpg?v=1775590320","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780375709647","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
