Book description
"Were Merwin not one of America's most admired poets, he would still be as famous as translators get." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"In the foreword to his new translation of Purgatorio], Merwin . . . writes feelingly of his 30-year obsession with the poem. And indeed, the flaws as well as the virtues of his new rendering may be said to stem from a profound reverence for the original." --The New York TimesW.S. Merwin's rendition of the Purgatorio is considered a pinnacle and highlight from a prolific and celebrated career in poetry and translation. The most neglected and arguably the most rewarding book of Dante's Divine Comedy, Purgatorio finds Dante undertaking the arduous journey of scaling the terraces of Mount Purgatory. Presented in a bilingual edition with the translator's notes and commentary, Merwin's interpretation of Dante's great poem of sin, repentance, and salvation is a profoundly moving work of art and a luminous translation for our time. When asked why he translated this book, as opposed to the Inferno or Paradiso, Merwin responded, "The Purgatorio is more like life."From "Canto XXII" And I went on, lighter than I had beenat the other passageways, so that withouteffort I climbed after the swift spirits, when Virgil began, "Love that is set alightby virtue always sets alight anotherif only its flame can be seen shining outW.S. Merwin is one of America's greatest poets and translators. He won the Pulitzer Prize twice, most recently for The Shadow of Sirius. He lives in Hawaii, where the Governor declared Merwin's birthday--September 30--"W.S. Merwin Day."
