W.S. Merwin Has Died

Merwin was a remarkable writer. The Poetry Foundation's obituary has links to some of his more well-known poems: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/collections/144293/remember...

And the New Yorker posted a piece talking about him with links to many of the prose pieces he wrote for them: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/w-s-merwin-in-th...

Including an old favorite of mine, "The Remembering Machines of Tomorrow", written in 1969: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1969/11/29/the-rememberin...

There's a copy that appears to be readable without a paywall here: https://books.google.com/books?id=o6zuPVOrVIQC&lpg=PA105&ots...

That last link won't let me read past the first page over here, but it already seems remarkably prescient... now I gotta read the rest!

Seems like a remarkable creative, even though I just learned of him. RIP.
