W.S. Merwin's Conversation with Renee Rothman
(2003 California Academy of Sciences: City Arts and Lectures Series.)
by J. Zimmerman.
Top 500 Poems, William Harmon (Editor). The 500 most anthologized poems in English, from work in 1250 by "anonymous", through Blake, Shakespeare, and Keats, to Wilbur, Larkin, Ginsberg, and Plath.
When W.S. Merwin referred to his statement against the USA Administration's 2003 plan to invade Iraq, he received strong applause.
His statement, widely published and circulated by Poets Against The War and others, says in part:
It would not have been possible for me ever to trust
someone who
acquired office by the shameful means Mr. Bush and his
abettors resorted to in the last presidential election.
His nonentity was rapidly becoming more apparent than ever when the catastrophe of Sept. 11, 2001, provided him and his handlers with a role for him, that of "wartime leader", which they, and he in turn, were quick to exploit. ... To arrange a war in order to be re-elected outdoes even the means employed in the last presidential election. Mr. Bush and his plans are a greater danger to the United States than Saddam Hussein. W. S. Merwin
