A WHOLE WORLD
Edited by Langdon Hammer and Stephen Yenser
When he was 25 and traveling abroad, the poet James Merrill (1926-95) learned that his mother had destroyed letters he’d been sent from several different men, fearing that they presented her son with a “threat of exposure.” Recounting this incident in “A Different Person” (1993), his too-little-known autobiography, Merrill pointed out how “it never occurred to the alarmists that a person who made no secret of his life was a sorry target for blackmail.” As years passed and his romantic activity remained forthright and far-flung, his mother became, for the most part, “forbearance itself.” She is one of her son’s many correspondents in the six decades’ worth of letters that now fill “A Whole World,” a cosmopolitan, bejeweled and philosophical chronicle of friendship, love, sex and work.
