In this edition of The Howard County Poetry and Literature Society's "The Writing Life," W.S. Merwin talks of the environment, his life in Hawaii and the poetry that gently probes the natural world around us. The late poet Roland Flint acts as host, and recalls in this program that W.S. Merwin's first book was chosen for the Yale Younger Poets series by W.H. Auden in 1952. Though honors (a Pulitzer, Bollingen, etc.) have come his way more frequently than riches, shortly before this taping in 1994 Merwin became the first Master American poet to receive a $100,000 Tanning Prize.
To have the freedom to write, Merwin has always lived frugally. Earlier in France, more recently in Hawaii, he alternates between literary pursuits and the work of restoring ruined agricultural land. He gardens less as an owner than the temporary caretaker of a precious resource. Whether planting trees or tending endangered species, concern for the environment permeates all Merwin's writings -- prose, poetry or translation. Merwin sits casually in his blue jeans, and talks of the environment and villanelles. He reads five poems from The Rain in the Trees ("Late Spring," "West Wall" and "The Solstice") and two from his latest volume, Travels, ("Witness" and "Place").

In the late 1970s, the renowned poet W.S. Merwin bought three acres of an old pineapple plantation in Hawaii -- a “paradise lost,” where little would grow due to deforestation and chemicals leftover in the soil. Little by little, he and his wife began planting trees, and the garden grew into a whole forest of palms from seeds collected around the world. Jeffrey Brown visits Merwin’s garden in Maui.

About the Speaker
William S. Merwin has become one of the most widely read and honored poets of our time. In an illustrious career spanning six decades (and counting), Merwin has received many honors, including the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1971, 2009); the Tanning Prize, one of the highest honors bestowed by the Academy of American Poets; and the Golden Wreath of the Struga Poetry Evenings. In 2010, he was appointed United States Poet Laureate.
Merwin is also a translator, gardener and environmental activist. For nearly 30 years, he has lived on Maui in a home he designed and help build. Surrounded by acres that erosion, logging and toxic agricultural practices had depleted, he lovingly restored the land, transforming it into one of the most comprehensive palm forests in the world—a future sanctuary called The Merwin Conservancy.
Recorded at TEDxMaui 2012, held on January 22, 2012 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.

About the Speaker
William S. Merwin has become one of the most widely read and honored poets of our time. In an illustrious career spanning six decades (and counting), Merwin has received many honors, including the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1971, 2009); the Tanning Prize, one of the highest honors bestowed by the Academy of American Poets; and the Golden Wreath of the Struga Poetry Evenings. In 2010, he was appointed United States Poet Laureate.
Merwin is also a translator, gardener and environmental activist. For nearly 30 years, he has lived on Maui in a home he designed and help build. Surrounded by acres that erosion, logging and toxic agricultural practices had depleted, he lovingly restored the land, transforming it into one of the most comprehensive palm forests in the world—a future sanctuary called The Merwin Conservancy.
Recorded at TEDxMaui 2012, held on January 22, 2012 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.
