He has spent most of his life in Spain, Portugal, France, and Southern Mexico but in this book he returns to scenes of his childhood. He came from the region near Pittsburgh, and grew up in New Jersey where his father was a minister of the First Presbyterian Church. Merwin produces unforgettable portraits of the region of his childhood, and when he returns as a man he becomes a chronicler. This is a beautiful and unique book.
