Driving into William Merwin's Maui palm preserve is like entering another world. Here, a few miles from Kahalui's international airport and the crowded streets of Paia, there is only bird song and the musky scent of jungle foliage. Fan-shaped leaves of Pritchardias and foxtail fronds of Wodyetia bifurcata drip after a rain shower. Sunlight barely penetrate the dense canopy, and paths are carpeted with leaves. It is a fitting refuge for a Pulitzer prize-winning poet who devotes mornings to writing and afternoons to tending his palm garden.
