Thanks for posting this, Dan. We had the pleasure of hearing Merwin speak just a couple of months ago. And this recognition couldn't happen for a better press. Long live Copper Canyon! Love, M | ||

If you read the article you saw that the fine poet Ted Kooser is also a CP author. Right on! This post won't get nearly as much interest as the "Somali Pirate" post, but hey--I tried!! As Gary would say: "Smiles." "People who believe a lot of crap are better off." Charles Bukowski | ||

Dan, wonderful post. Being from the Big Wet, I have some experience with Copper C. Nobody does it better, esp, imnho, with translations. Congrats to all, including us poets who benefit. Smiles. Gary Celebrate Walt with Gary: http://www.poetrykit.org/pkl/tw10/tw4conte.htm | ||

i couldnt be more pleased, Merwin has been one of my favorite writers for nearly thirty years, and he never stops inventing. Every time I read a new book of his, Im looking at a different Merwin, not an easy thing for any poet, at any age... Afraid of the Dark | ||

I love Copper Canyon! They are also champions of translated works. William O'Daly has just translated World's End (the last of nine books of Pablo Neruda). Quality to be had a Copper Canyon. Merwin is a great choice. Hope he gets most of the $10,000 smackers. Wonder if the IRS gets a cut [bastarditos]. e Word Walker Press; Moonday Poetry; Kyoto Journal | ||
