About This Item
n.p.: Sea Cliff Press, 1986. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. No. 133 of 220 copies, octavo size, 23 pp., signed by James Merrill. James Merrill (1926-1995), known as one of the leading poets of his generation, won nearly every major award for poetry - including two National Book Awards, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry awarded by the Library of Congress, and the Bollingen Prize in Poetry and the Pulitzer Prize. Praised for his stylish elegance, moral sensibilities, and transformation of autobiographical moments into deep and complex meditations, Merrill's work spans genres, including plays and prose, but the bulk of his artistic expression can be found in his poetry (n.b., from Poetry Foundation web site).
