Scholars Index Familiar Spirits : A Memoir of James Merrill and David Jackson by Alison Lurie A leading American novelist's memory of a major contemporary American poet and the spirits that haunted his most celebrated and controversial work, Alison Lurie is known for the sophisticated satire and Pulitzer-winning prose of her novels and stories. In Familiar Spirits , she lovingly evokes two true-life intimates who are now lost to her. In her signature mix of comedy and analysis Lurie recalls Merrill and his longtime partner, David Jackson and their lives together in New York, Athens, Stonington, Connecticut, and Key West. Familiar Spirits reveals both the worldly and other worldly sources of what Merrill called his "chronicles of love and loss." Merrill was known for the autobiographical element in his work and here, we are introduced to the over thirty years of Ouija board sessions that brought gods and ghosts into his and David Jackson's lives, and also into Merill's brilliant book length poem

To have the icon of American literature living here, acting just like one of us, an ordinary citizen, for forty-plus years, while touching our lives with light.

Before we forget, let me list some of he awards heaped upon him: Jimmy won the Pulitzer Prize, two National Book Awards, the Bollingen Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award; and he was a judge of Yale University's Younger Poets' Award. In addition, he established the Merrill Ingram Foundation to help young poets financially, as well as giving of his time and effort. He continued to do his throughout his life and everywhere he lived. The Changing Light at Sandover was certainly America's most ambitious poem since Leaves of Grass or The Wasteland Let me interrupt and read a few lines he wrote about just this place, from

Born into wealth, he studied at Amherst College (grad. 1947) and was free to live as he pleased and to devote much of his time to poetry. One of the most admired poets of his generation, he is noted for the technical virtuosity, elegant formality, refined lyricism, and witty urbanity of verse that, while always reserved, became more autobiographical, intimate, and colloquial over the years. His early volumes include First Poems Water Street Nights and Days The Fire Screen (1969), and Braving the Elements The Changing Light at Sandover (1982). In it, Merrill (with his companion David Jackson) used a Ouija board to invoke the spirits (and the spirit) of his aesthetic forebears. Among later volumes are Late Settings The Inner Room (1988), and

    Extractions: THE MUSICALITY OF MERRILL: Perhaps a Preface To a Masters Presentation In Poetry. i n January 1994's American Spectator magazine Christopher Cahill quotes Harold Bloom calling James Merrill the "Mozart of American Poetry." But he doesn't go on to discuss why. Here I will try. Cahill touches on Merrill's love of language, his operatic tone and his dramatic use of rhyme and meter. Many biographers mention his love of opera since age eleven, his technical skill on piano, and some of the famous poets and musicians (ie: artists) he knew, befriended and/or slept with. No one seems ready to further discuss how his musicality influenced his poetry and especially how his poetry influenced his musicality. Well,here I go. I will try tackling the former because the latter won't fit less than five pages. I therefore beg a sequel, trilogy or underwritten grant someday to begin a life's work interviewing the piano he played which was moved to his mother's house after his death. Oy!
