A Mask For JanusA Mask For Janus by W.S. Merwin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I admire Merwin’s poetry, so I was interested to see his development from an early age. The poetry here definitely shows great promise in the young man. However, it is stilted and derivative—but don’t we all write that way in the beginning?
