Charles E. Merrill, Jr.

As if anticipating his two older siblings would survive him, James Merrill dedicated his 1985 collection of poems Late Settings "for my sister Doris and my brother Charles." (His 1957 novel The Seraglio, widely read as a portrait of Charles E. Merrill's womanizing ways, was dedicated to the poet's ten nephews and nieces.) James Merrill shared with his brother a lifelong love of opera, an experience he wrote about in his 1993 memoir, A Different Person.
