Shadow Of Sirius, The

2009 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, Top Ten 2009 Poetry Best Seller

W. S. Merwin

United States Poet Laureate W.S. Merwin once again calls upon the unexpected to illuminate existence. The Shadow Of Sirius contains mysteries of light, darkness, temporality, and eternity interwoven throughout. "I have only what I remember," Merwin admits, and his memories are focused and profound--Pennsylvania miners and neighborhood streetcars, a conversation with a boyhood teacher or a parent, the distinct qualities of autumnal light and gentle rain, well-cultivated loves, and "our long evenings and astonishment."
