Industry Reviews
"Before them I think of the poems of Byron, and of Pope, whom Merrill loved, as ancesters of his poems. But he was never derivative, never to be mistaken for another...Like every authentic voice of such substance and distinction, he calls into question all the words he suggests that might designate him, and he resettles them as he goes on taking his own place."
New York Times Book Review - W. S. Merwin
"With an eye for drama both high and low, Merrill guides us through such entertainments as a return engagement of Sandover (in the masterly 'Nine Lives') and a recent revival of the complete Ring Cycle, stopping along the way to visit assorted other furry creatures, both domesticated and stray, not to mention animals of the human variety. The narrative presence in these poems is so strong that the occasionally heavy layering of allusions scarcely seems a burden, with such a genial host to provide appropriate introductions."
Lambda Book Report - Sue Russell
"In these last poems, lucid, deft, fond, shrewd, faithful, Merrill once again reveals himself as our most visual poet, combining a superb eye with an unfailing ear....American poetry has lost one of its masters, one of the giants of the generation born in the 1920s."
Boston Globe - Peter Davison
