"There are few great poets alive at any one time, and W.S. Merwin is one of them. Read him." —The Guardian

W.S. Merwin composed Garden Time during the difficult process of losing his eyesight. When he could no longer see well enough to write, he dictated his new poems to his wife, Paula. In this gorgeous, mindful, and life-affirming book, our greatest poet channels energy from animated sounds and memories to remind us that "the only hope is to be the daylight."

From "A Breath of Day":

Last night I slept on the floor of the sea

in an unsounded part of the ocean

in the morning it was a long way up

through the dark streets of a silent country

with no language in its empty houses

until I had almost reached the surface

of a morning that I had never seen

then a breeze came to it and I began

to remember the voices of young leaves . . .

W.S. Merwin served as Poet Laureate of the United States and has received every major literary accolade, including two Pulitzer prizes, most recently for The Shadow of Sirius (Copper Canyon), and the National Book Award for Migration: New and Selected Poems (Copper Canyon). He lives in Hawaii.

六十九首诗都好，光影，时间还有花园。默温在年迈之时写下这些诗篇，那种感觉，难以名状，几个词语就把自己带到难以言说的境地，这种感觉，只有自己知道。

十星二十星一百星！是我这些年读到的最好的新诗集，他做到了庞德没有做到的，唐诗与中世纪游吟诗的精髓在最近几年的几本诗集里越来越醇净，这本最好。让我有点想翻译了，虽然昨天才承诺五年内绝不接任何翻译邀约了。

too good

只要生活中还有诗// 时间湍流中的永恒一刻，是许许多多其他时刻的回声交响，但又永不重来、无法凝固，当下的确凿，当下的惘然。
