Poetry. A prolific writer who has won awards for his works of fiction as well as nonfiction Merrill delivers his eleventh book of poetry in THE SEASONS. "If John Clare had toured the United States with Oscar Wilde, their notebooks, twisted together in a tornado and edited by Audubon and Escoffier, might have read like these poems: evocative, sophisticated and as ever-in-the-present as memory must always be" - Tom Raworth. "Code name Fava:/ an hour of April snow/ from San Sepolcro/ quarter, swirling down/ the hills, and then/ back up" - from Una Dozzina
