Voice of the Poet

Merrill

By Merrill, James Ingram

Publishers Summary:
James Merrill, the son of Merrill Lynch cofounder Charles Lynch, rose from a privileged but unsettled childhood to become one of the leading lyrical poets of the 20th century. Composed of rare, self-read recordings and a booklet containing the text of each poem, The Voice of the Poet: James Merrill celebrates Merrill and his complex grapplings with love and loss. Listeners will immerse themselves in the poet's melodic narration in such classics as "The Days of 1964," "An Urban Convalescence," and "Lost in Translation." "The Broken Home," a reflection on his parents' widely publicized divorce, nails Merrill's love/loss dichotomy perfectly by showing his struggle to reconcile their differences. Listen to Merrill read "The School Play." Visit our audio help page for more information. (Running time: 1 hour, 1 cassette)
