Product Description

From Library Journal

A poet of unusual mindfulness, Levertov conjoins a delicate, mystical lyricism with a passional political consciousness. The poems in her most recent collection are inspired by the small miracles of the natural world, terrorism in Central America, paintings, and other artists, especially Rilke. Like the mystics she often evokes, Levertov finds transcendence in the acute observation of the ordinary. Indeed, the longing for transcendence suffuses these poems: "Because/ I know a different need has begun/ to cast its lines out from me/ into a place unknown, I reach/ for a silence almost present,/ elusive among my heartbeats." Levertov is among the finest poets writing today; this volume belongs in all collections of contemporary poetry.
- Christine Stenstrom, New York Law Sch. Lib.
