The Shadow of Sirius
(Copper Canyon Press)
In his latest collection of poetry, which Publishers Weekly called “his best book in a decade — and one of the best outright,” Merwin looks back to his past. He writes about memories of Pennsylvania miners, a conversation with a boyhood teacher, the qualities of autumnal light, and traveling to Europe by boat. Merwin’s collection Migration (2005) won the National Book Award.
