A Mask for Janus by WS Merwin
A Mask For Janus by W.S. MerwinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I admire Merwin's poetry, so I was interested to see his development from an early age. The poetry here definitely shows great promise in the young man. However, it is stilted and derivative---but don't we all write that way in the beginning?
