James Merrill Poems

James Merrill once called his poetic works 'chronicles of love and loss', and in twenty books written over four decades he used the details of his life - comic and haunting, exotic and domestic - to shape a compelling, sometimes intensely moving, personal portrait.

James Merrill si-a numit odata operele poetice „cronici ale dragostei si pierderii”, iar in douazeci de carti scrise de-a lungul a patru decenii a folosit detaliile vietii sale - comice si bantuitoare, exotice si domestice - pentru a modela un portret personal convingator, uneori intens miscator .
