Wow. Really strong poem, Anne. I especially like the sudden iron weight it takes on as the third stanza begins. I can feel the cold, the plunge into the deep earth.
A poet friend of mine, Scott King (he's also publisher of Red Dragonfly Press) wrote a short prose piece I liked quite a bit, "Hearing Merwin," reflecting on listening to W.S. Merwin read his poems on an audio recording. I also linked to Scott's piece in my blog a while back when I first read it.
