The Cabin Welcomed U.S. Poet Laureate W.S. Merwin to the Egyptian Theatre Wednesday, April 27, 2011
W.S. Merwin
In an illustrious career spanning five decades, W.S. Merwin – poet, translator and environmental activist – has become one of the most widely read poets in the United States. His collection, Migration: Selected Poems, won the National Book Award, and The Shadow of Sirius was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2009, Mr. Merwin’s second Pulitzer. He served as Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress in 1999, and received the Lannan Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.
Mr. Merwin began his poetic career writing hymns at the age of five and, as a young man, went to Europe where he developed a love of languages that led to work as a literary translator. He currently lives, writes and gardens in Hawaii, on the island of Maui, where he has restored native vegetation palm by palm.
