Book Description
Denise Levertov's Selected Poems delivers in a single accessible volume "one of the essential poets of our time" (Poetry Flash).
Culled from two dozen poetry books, and drawing from six decades of her writing life, The Selected Poems of Denise Levertov offers a chronological overview of her great body of work. It is splendid and impressive to have at last a clear, unobstructed view of her ground-breaking poetry—the work of a poet who, as Kenneth Rexroth put it, "more than anyone, led the redirection of American poetry...to the mainstream of world literature."
Described by Publishers Weekly as "at once as intimate as Creeley and as visionary as Duncan," Levertov was lauded as "one of the indispensable poets of our language, one of those few writers to whom it is necessary to pay attention" by The Malahat Review. No poet is more overdue for a single accessible volume; no career could be better to have within easy reach.
About the Author
Born in England and educated at home, as a child Denise Levertov (1923-1997) sent her poems to T.S. Eliot who admired and encouraged her. She emigrated to the United States in 1948 and became one of the most important American poets of the second half of the 20th century. She was a staunch anti-war activist and environmentalist, and winner of the Robert Frost Medal and the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize.
