"THE MOON BEFORE MORNING is a love letter composed in a stunning rush of memory. Answering the call set forth in his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Shadow of Sirius, W.S. Merwin extends the emotional and intellectual reach of that collection with passionate reverence for the natural world, bittersweet reflection on time's irrevocable ravages, and equanimity informed by a lifetime of writing and practiced contemplation. [] Merwin's studied precision in form and language filters crisp, beautiful images through ethereal memory, forging an intense bond between the writer and a quickly transforming world. 'When we forget,' Merwin posits, others will remember: no action or spirit on Earth is without its infinite reverberations." [jacket copy] "W.S. Merwin's legacy is unquestionably secure: his best and most fierce poems are moody, visionary compositions that dive into the unconscious and the seeds of existence with an inwardness and scrutiny unique in American poetry."--Poetry. "Merwin's masterfully refined, meditative poems stem from his dwelling mindfully in one beloved place and handling words as though they are seeds, flowers, stones, and water. . . For four decades Merwin has been restoring land in Hawaii, the setting for the opening cycle of rinsed-clean lyrics, in which palm trees, clouds, each 'the only one of its kind,' and his garden accentuate the perfection of nature--'no question and no doubt'--in contrast to the confusion and yearning of humankind. As he watches crows flying across a clear sky, he thinks, 'Nothing is missing.' Yet he also writes of the deprivations of his gritty New Jersey childhood and his long wandering years. As Merwin contrasts reverence for the living world with heedless environmental destruction, anger surfaces. But gratitude prevails, and Merwin offers thanks for many gifts, including 'words / that come out of silence and take me by surprise / and have carried me through the clear day.' Merwin has attained a transcendent and transformative elevation of beaming perception, exquisite balance, and clarifying beauty."--Donna Seaman, Booklist. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket. Quite presentable.
