Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

This little collection came out when W.S.Merwin was deservedly serving as poet laureate of the U.S. It rings with grace,without pretentiousness,like casual retellings of favorite moments by an old friend. In one of my favorite poems from this book, he recalls his fascination, as a very young child,with a patch of light playing it's way across a carpet. This was one of many times while reading "The Shadow of Sirius" that I slid back into cherished temporal swatches from my own life. I've always felt that good poetry should invite and reward repeated readings, not demand, and not disapoint. this book succeeds admirably.

Merwin is the kind of poet non poetry reading people want to read. He's topically accessible, but then also a genius in layering symbolism & imagery. I had to read this book for a class, but I'm so glad I was introduced to his writing, and I will be exploring more.
