Home Information Contents Search ... Links Merrill, James Milford. JAMES MILFORD MERRILL (18-17-1936) James Milford Merrill, one of the nine children of Isaac Dimmock Merrill, a lumberman, and his wife Augusta McKinney, was born in Muskegon, Michigan, October 15, 1847. When he was four years of age, his parents removed to Bridgetown, at that time a small lumber camp some fifteen miles farther up the Muskegon River, and there his father built a shingle and clapboard mill and had his home on a high bluff overlooking the river. Every spring the Indians came in great numbers to tap the sugar maples. They had their camp about five miles from the town, and James used to play with the Indian children. From them and from the lumbermen he gained his knowledge of woodcraft which was to stand him in good stead when in later years he began to write of pioneer days. James attended the school at Bridgetown, and between school hours worked in his father's store and spent his leisure in writing sketches for some of the New York story papers. He also attended the State Normal at Ypsilanti, Michigan, for one term in 1865. On June 13, 1874, he was married to Elizabeth Brown, and one child, Raymond (1877-1926), who later became a reporter on the Grand Rapids Herald and editor of the Soo Daily News and finally ran a store in Grant, Michigan, was born of this marriage.

Z Search All Criticism: Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page James Merrill 1926-1995 (Full name James Ingram Merrill) American poet, novelist, dramatist, and memoirist. INTRODUCTION Merrill is regarded as one of the most important poets of the twentieth century. Praised from the beginning of his fifty-year career for the formal and metrical precision of his work, he steadily developed his poetry's thematic depth, so that, in such notable works as The Fire Screen Braving the Elements (1972), and The Changing Light at Sandover (1982), he was able to openly address autobiographical concerns, socio-political elements, and, in J. D. McClatchy's words, “the creation of an entire cosmogony.” Distinguished for his work as a whole, Merrill is principally esteemed for his epic poem The Changing Light at Sandover, which in the representative words of critic Robert Mazzocco is viewed as “an astonishing performance … as near to a masterpiece as anything else that American poetry has produced in the last two or three decades, and the capstone … of an extraordinary career.”
