W. S. Merwin, the acclaimed American poet, did not have any children. He and his wife, Paula, lived a quiet life surrounded by their love for each other and their garden in Hawaii. Merwin’s focus was primarily on his poetry and environmental activism, which often took precedence over starting a family. His works reflect profound insights into nature, loss, and the passage of time, but they do not delve into personal details of a family life. Instead, his legacy lives on through his written words, which resonate with many readers around the world.
