"in the faces of the officials and the rich
and of all who will never change
we go on saying thank you thank you"

"Thanks" by W. S. Merwin. Full poem: https://m.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/thanks

#thankyou #PoetryMatters @LazyDays

Billypar Before this summer Merwin was one of a probably still sizable group of famous poets I haven't read (or even heard of, truth be told). But in the past few months I've seen his poems posted at both the botanical gardens and on subways. Not the usual way I come to writers, but glad he's getting some NYC love ☺️ 7y
TrishB Love Merwin 💕 7y
batsy @Billypar I'm not well-versed but I love what little of read. That's so cool that people are exposed to poetry in that way in NY 💚 7y
