Monsieur Perdu can prescribe the perfect book for a broken heart. But can he fix his own?Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can't seem to heal through literature is himself; he's still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened. After Perdu is finally tempted to read the letter, he hauls anchor and departs on a mission to the south of France, hoping to make peace with his loss and discover the end of the story. Joined by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef, Perdu travels along the country's rivers, dispensing his wisdom and his books, showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself. Internationally bestselling and filled with warmth and adventure, The Little Paris Bookshop is a love letter to books, meant for anyone who believes in the power of stories to shape people's lives.

Linus's blue blanket
Format: Hardcover
Even though I'm reading the hardcover, I wrap
the wonderful, wise words of W.S. Merwin around me.
His poems infuse my life with an even keener sense of appreciating the "now."
His words keep me in constant contact with my sense of responsibility for our planet.
He's an inspiration for taking action to preserve, conserve, and plant trees, as well as
recognizing the magnitude of the impact that each being carries. The geese, all animals,
relationships, taking better care of the earth and each other,
as well as experiencing the sorrows and the joys in life.
He is dedicated to the craft of poetry and its vital role of importance in our lives.
I wish I could thank him in person, but since that's not realistic, I will continue
to do my best to honor him in my own way, by taking time to observe,
experience, appreciate, write, take action, and reflect upon the beauty in the world
and making the most of each moment. Carpe Diem!

What Merwin Thought Represented Him Best
Format: Paperback
If one volume could sum up adequately W.S. Merwin's artistic development and illustrate his place in American literature with some justice, "Migration" does the job. At least as importantly, it gives us the poet's own opinion on the poems for which he might want to be remembered, much as Nathaniel Tarn inspired Pablo Neruda to do in the selection of Neruda's poems that Tarn oversaw. I bought "Migration" at roughly the same time as
and
and cross-referenced his selection from those titles in "Migration" against the whole. While I still have one or two favorites that did not make the cut, I found the choices he made consistently better-inspired and more timeless than the poems that surrounded them (though overall Merwin has remained a consistent and astonishingly fine craftsman throughout his career). For those who want to go further back than Merwin's more recent books for Copper Canyon Press should not be disappointed.

ws merwin's collected poems
Format: Hardcover
it's a hardback and it's in great condition. apparently it's a library book that has been in more than one sale, at one point someone had put a price of fifty cents on it. it's sad that arguably one of the better modern writers did not find a permanent home but that meant a great deal for me. also, i hope the reason the book started its journey wasn't because the library folded but that might explain why the book left the shelves to begin with.
