Merwin may well be the best poet in America today, and this volume collects four of the most important books of poetry in the past generation: The Lice (1963), The Moving Target (1967), The Carrier of Ladders (1970--for which Merwin received the Pulitzer Prize), and Writings to an Unfinished Accompaniment (1973).
