the humidity shows as he sweats

The refinement and grace of Merwin's presence, consciousness, language, and sensibility are so uplifting. How I miss him and the few people like him!

Best to Steer Clear of Merwin's land--it was poisoned for years by Dole Pineapple

Absolutely wonderful I totally agree with your ethos….

love his poems so much

This is such a special video to me. Thank you to all the artists that played a hand in making it. 🖖

Poor audio! unfortunately

how did you do it can you share with me , thank you

Missing you dearly, Paula and W. S. Merwin!

Merwin's poems remind me of a cat falling from a tree. Spinning, tumbling, whirling about yet somehow always landing on its feet-

Greed.

I learn of Mr Merwin late in life..... my love of the earth and Trees caused a connection with his literary works. He was was truly a inspirational poet.......

Sad there are so few authentic beautiful souls on this earth compared to the haters and the indifferent :(

I'm a Poet and he Refused to Blurb my Book, despite being the first to sweep all 3 poetry Awards @ my University. Not a generous man.

Seeing you Jesus in my springtime

I am completely enamored with W.S. Merwin.

The last generations of trees made from our breath stand, while the newest models are synthetic apperatures of the machine.

It would be greatly appreciated if you all posted more footage of the conservatory. It'd mean a lot to see his ecological legacy here! Best wishes during what must be a difficult time.

RIP, WS Merwin.

I've never once heard him read this without my eyes filling with tears. W.S. Merwin, You are an amazing poet and wonderful human being. Thank you for caring for the Earth and for writing your nourishing and poignant poems.

I edited this and only had a copy on VHS. So glad to see it again; thanks for posting this!

I enjoyed this! I will probably listen again! But at the end of the video, I need to comment on the question - what is hope? As Christians (or like me - Wannabee Christians), we know that there is hope of a spiritual life in eternity!

Cameron and Carpenter blend beautiful sights and sounds with William's poetry and incredible insights;" One of the things that Thoreau is saying, at least this is what he is saying to me, is that in wildness, in our acceptance and our embrace, and joy in what we do not control, and will never control, is our salvation. As long as we feel we can control things, as long as we really have that terrible delusion, we’re going to feel that our relationship to the rest of life is that of conquest and acquisition. And this is not only killing the rest of life, it is killing us. Not as a consequence but as the same act." ~W.S. Merwin

so good. the panning back and forth is annoying but he's amazing
