[New-Poetry] W/S/Merwin

[Séamas Cain]

David Graham,

I saw/heard the entirety of the Bill Moyers' interview with W.S. Merwin.
There were four or five instances in which Merwin declined to answer a
question, remarking simply that he had no answer ... he had no answer to the
specific question.  I thought this was quite refreshingly different.  (Bill
Moyers seemed embarrassed each time this happened; but why?)

Bestwishes,

Séamas
