520    This new Selected Poems replaces an earlier selection of 
       work by James Merrill entitled From the First Nine (1982),
       now out of print; it includes 121 poems taken from that 
       work and from Late Settings (1985), but it excludes the 
       long narrative poem The Changing Light at Sandover, which 
       is republished simultaneously in a separate volume. 
       Together the two give solid definition to a body of poetic
       work that must be accounted among the finest in English of
       our time. Of James Merrill, the critic Harold Bloom has 
       said, "He is indisputably a verse artist comparable to 
       Milton, Tennyson and Pope. Surely he will be remembered as
       the Mozart of American poetry, classical rather than 
       mannerist or baroque, master of the changing light or 
       perfection that consoles."
