Merwin won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2009 and is now recognized as an important poet. -Merwin's new style has indeed come to flower in The Lice. Throughout this book one discovers again and again a startling image, freshness in the handling of rhythm, the recognition of the potentialities of a word. Though he incorporates a variety of techniques there remains nonetheless a compelling unity within the collection. The poems mirror the poet's concerns: mutability, time and death.''
