W. S. MERWIN
"When You Go Away"
"Separation" 

​JAMES WRIGHT
"Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota"
"The Jewel"

from Modern American Poets: Their Voices & Visions, Ed. Robert Diyanni

I write more about the pages below in a piece for The San Francisco Chronicle on visiting Merwin in Hawaii for his 90th birthday. Similarly, I talk about Wright in an essay on his classic Shall We Gather at the River that appeared in Ploughshares.
