The Widening Spell of the Leaves (Pitt Poetry Series)

By Larry Levis

Book Overview

The result is a book of discursive meditations that will amply reward the reader. Part travelogue, part pilgrimage in which the shrines remain hidden until they are recognized later, Larry Levis's startling and complex fifth book of poems is about the enslavement to desire for personal freedom, and the awareness of its price.

Classic Levis

Great book of poetry from the master of elegies. It's right up there with Winter Stars in my book.
