Description

A National Book Critics Circle Award nominee, "A Different Person" is eminent poet James Merrill's coming-of-age portrait. While in his twenties, Merrill, born to comfort and privilege, sets sail in 1950 with a young man's passionate expectations for the Europe that will change his life. Centering his story on this odyssey, he opens his life to us in a memoir that puts wit, sensibility, and elegance of mind to the service of unflinching autobiographical truth.
