Abstract: William StanleyMerwin’s writing has not only the conspicuous value in cross-cultural, ecological terms, but also the pioneering significance of modern poetics in the deep essence of poetry. In many dimensions, Merwin has made extraordinary breakthroughs in poetics for traditional surrealism. He expands, extends, by means of restoration, the aesthetic tentacles of modern poetry, represents the modern poet, the modern man’s anxiety over identity with natural illusions, creates a Posthuman imagination of the modern world in an awakened consciousness of void. Merwin’s poetry renders transcendence merely as a new tool to transcend reality, which avoids the retiracy, eases the rudeness towards reality in the early stage of modernity. Hence one can see that his poetry offers a reflection on the predicament of Postmodernist poetics, initiates the active construction of a certain kind of new poetics

Key words: Merwin, restoration, natural illusion, void, neo-surreality
