Book Synopsis
In the first monograph on W.S. Merwin to appear since his death in 2019, Feng Dong focuses on the dialectical movement of desire and infinity that ensouls the poet's entire oeuvre. His analysis foregrounds what Merwin calls ""the other side of despair"", the opposite of humans' articulated personal and social agonies.
