Summary: Masterful, Passionate Poetry
Comment: W.S. Merwin's collection of poetry entitled "The Rain In The Trees" is nothing short of magnificent. All the poems in it are extremely strong and powerful.

This is not escapist poetry in any sense, really. It is largely about how humans are damaging the earth, trees, vegetation, and animals. But, it is not propaganda poetry at all ... it is powerful, passionate, balanced poetry that has linguistic and artistic integrity at all times.

My favorite poem in here is "Chord," about the disappearance of Sandalwood trees in the early nineteenth century. The language is breathtaking.

This is a great book of poetry, and I recommend it to everybody.

Summary: Entrancing
Comment: W. S. Merwin is clearly a major figure in American poetry. His work, emphasizing nature, memory, plants, the forest, is thought-provoking, insightful, and delightful. If you buy only one book of poetry this year, buy this one. Everyone we have shared the book with has become absolutely enchanted- a true masterpiece.
