About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1951. American poet James Ingram Merrill's poetry falls into two distinct bodies of work: the polished and formalist lyric poetry of his early career, and the epic narrative of occult communication with spirits and angels, titled The Changing Light at Sandover (published in three volumes from 1976 to 1980), which dominated his later career. His first book of poetry, First Poems, contains a selection of his earliest poems, most of which first appeared in The Hudson Review, The Kenyon Review, Partisan Review, and Quarterly Review of Literature including: The Black Swan, The Broken Bowl, Hour-Glass, and The Drowning Poet.
