Yup - financially (bangs per buck) you are right. However it's always nice to see the poems together, and in order, as the poet intended.

I bought Merwin's "Migration" as a good overview of his oeuvre, and I still have it, but I've now bought most of the individual volumes too. The former doesn't bust my hand luggage weight limit when I go on holiday! Otherwise I like to pick up, eg "The Rain In The Trees" as a separate volume.
