What is this book about?
Migration is a volume of new and selected poems by W. S. Merwin. The National Book Award judges wrote that the poems come from a lifelong belief in the power of words, finding moments of awakening in ordinary things, from the ambulance sirens of a hospital to the rustle of a weasel in the wall of a French farmhouse.
