by Denise Levertov

Book Overview

Denise Levertov's Poems 1968-1972 gathers together all the poems from Relearning the Alphabet (1970), To Stay Alive (1971), and Footprints (1972). Testifying to Levertov's growing strength and technical mastery as a poet, Poems 1968-1972 also affirms the clarity of her vision in its resistance to the Vietnam War and its "opposition to the whole system of insane greed of which war is only the inevitable expression."

One of the greatest poets ever...

This is an amaizing book! I have read many of her poems and books and this one is the best one yet. Her depth in writing is so clear and evident, and her portrail of how people feel is exceptional. She tends to really understand people and the human state of mind. If you like any of Sylvia Plath you will difinently love Denise Levertov. Read this book and I hope you enjoy...
