A new verse translation.
"A poem of uncanny power. It has the tapestried richness of legend, but also an astonishing psychological complexityÖ an adventure filled with erotic entanglements, dire challenges and mysterious landscapesÖ both the epic dimension of ageless myth and the eerie intimacy of last night's dream. The clarity, ingenuity, and force of W.S. Merwin's translation will enable a new generation of readers to discover a remarkable masterpiece."
