1966. Introduced by Robert Lowell. As Library Journal notes, W. S. Merwin is, on this recording, "captured at a crucial point in his career: his poetry was moving towards surrealism, his images becoming deeper; his comments on the writing process make this cassette a rare treat." There are thirty-two poems in this historic recording, the majority of them from The Lice, in which the poet practiced his visionary mythmaking to great acclaim. This is an extraordinary documentation of Merwin's poetic powers. Length: 48 min.
