Paris Review - The Art of Poetry No. 31, James Merrill

I came upon the pages of one of our very earliest evenings with Ephraim.
. . .
It seems to me, reading those poems over—and I’ve begun to rework a number of them—that the only limitation imposed upon them was my own youth and limited skill; whereas looking back on the poems in The Country of a Thousand Years of Peace, it seems to me that each of at least the shorter ones bites off much less than those early lyrics did.

James Merrill - New World Encyclopedia

Accordingly, his work below is divided along those same lines.
. . .
Though not generally considered a Confessionalist poet, James Merrill made frequent use of personal experiences to fuel his "chronicles of love & loss" (as the speaker in Mirabell called his work).
. . .
Initially pleased, Merrill would later regard the precocious book as an embarrassment.
. . .
Style A writer of elegance and wit, highly adept at wordplay and puns, Merrill was a master of traditional poetic meter and form who nevertheless produced significant quantities of free and blank verse.
. . .
The divorce of Merrill's parents created a sense of disruption, followed by a sense of seeing the world "doubled," or in two ways at once, which figures prominently in the poet's verse.
. . .
Channeling voices through a Ouija board "made me think twice about the imagination," Merrill later explained.
