'Flower & Hand': a flower in my hand., April 5, 2008
This review is from: Flower & Hand: Poems, 1977-1983 (Paperback)
Yes, this book is like a flower in my hand. W. S. Merwin is a master of subtle emotions using mostly images to communicate his meanings. He doesn't hit you over the head with importance, but you get the importance of his poems anyway, if you read and listen carefully. He is very delicate with his words and precise. I highly recommend this book to any one who enjoys poetry.

Wonderful poetry, August 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Flower & Hand: Poems, 1977-1983 (Paperback)
This book is composed of reprints of earlier volumes--as many of Merwin's volumes are now being combined and republished. The poems are beautiful and thought-provoking. Best are the poems from "The Compass Flower"--some of love, some of nature. A master poet.
