Author Statment: NEA Writers' Corner: David Keplinger. Author's Statement "Elegy for the Precious Time Before Dinner" was one of those poems which incubated for years, then appeared one afternoon in a matter of ten minutes. It had been, in fact, many different failed poems that came together as one. Looking at the piece and its cast of characters, its backdrop of the maximum security Graterford Prison and my late aunt's house on the Pennsylvania countryside, the process by which this poem came to be seems now exactly right.

So many disparate forces had crisscrossed there. In between those two worlds -- one of possibility and one of consequence -- there was a beautiful cornfield where I would sit all afternoon. The poem tries to create a "cathedral effect" in which no contradictory element is unwelcome. Elegy For the Precious Time Before Dinner Along the fringe of two known worlds That make the field, the prison yard, Behind the house my mother and her sisters Live in, this was years ago. The Wise Guide : The Magic of Merwin. Poet W.S. Merwin lives a quiet life on a former pineapple plantation atop a dormant volcano in Haiku, a small community on the island of Maui, Hawaii. On July 1, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington announced Merwin’s appointment as the Library’s 17th Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2010–2011. During a 60-year writing career, Merwin has received nearly every major literary award. Born in 1927, Merwin showed an early interest in language and music, writing hymns for his father, a Presbyterian minister.

Merwin also has long been dedicated to translating poetry and plays from a wide array of languages, including Spanish and French. In 1976, Merwin moved to Hawaii, where he and his wife Paula have fashioned a quiet life in beautiful, natural surroundings. From 1999 to 2000, while Robert Pinsky served as Poet Laureate, Merwin, Rita Dove and Louise Glück were named as Special Bicentennial Consultants in Poetry to help celebrate the Library’s bicentennial.
