James Merrill himself once called his body of work "chronicles of
love and loss," and in twenty books written over four decades he
used the details of his own life--comic and haunting, exotic and
domestic--to shape a portrait that in turn mirrored the image of
our world and our moment. This volume rings together the best of
Merrill--from the domestic rupture of "The Broken Home" to the
universal connections of "Lost in Translation"; from the American
storyteller of "The Summer People" to the ecologically motivated
satirist of "Self-Portrait in a TyvekTM Windbreaker." 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?
