 | Selected Poems, 1946-1985 by James Merrill
`It is a testament to the breadth of James Merrill`s influence that one can, without ruffling too many feathers, declare him the greatest living American poet. Few writers approach his exquisite knowledge of the English language, its beauty and oddity-he breathes vigor into our most common words-and even fewer have managed to combine a sense of elegance with the momentous intellect and feeling that Merrill brings to his poems.`-David Leavitt AUTHOR: James Merrill
