Lost in Translation | What Do I Read Next?

  • Several scholars see similarities between Merrill and W. H. Auden. Look at some of Auden's poems in Collected Poems (1991).
  • Divine Comedies (1976) also contains The Book of Ephraim, another of Merrill's celebrated poems.
  • Merrill's epic poem The Changing Light at San-dover (1982) has themes similar to those of "Lost in Translation."
  • For a comparative study of American poetry, read Richard Howard's Alone with America: Essays on the Art of Poetry in the United States since 1950 (1980).
