Any other James Merrill fans out there?
Just a head's up: the current "New Yorker" (4/13/2015) has a great article about Merrill's poetry and a new biography by Langdon Hammer. Lots of references to Merrill's best works ("An Urban Convalescence," "The Broken Home," "The Changing Light At Sandover"
. Good stuff for those of us who admire one of the best modern formalists.
