i love w.s. merwin. we just read "the rain in the trees" for my contemporary american poetry class last week. "The Archaic Maker" was my fav.

I have been reading Merwin and have been wondering how he would read this, himself. The only clearly enjambed lines are the last two in each stanza/segment. I am tempted to always add a beat between each line, suggesting standalone lines. It seems to me that all other lines are (dis)connected to the one before and after. I've been looking for a discussion of this with no luck so far.

Bro seriosly, enough. The Asians dont need anymore of your shit. They have enough. And why in the fourth line from the end of this guys poem is he talking about the death star. Doesn't he know luke blew it up. -David
