I wasn't sure I was going to like this book when I started it;; I was afraid that there might be a stock Eastern nature mysticism in it. But by the end I was convinced, and ended up enjoying it quite a bit. I don't know if the poems are placed chronol ...more |

| Didn't like this quite as much as "Station Eleven," but almost. Here she has written two time lines in parallel universes. Interesting that the future in both places (at least for the US) are both dystopias, one violently anarchic, the other oppressi ...more | |

| I was lucky enough to get to know this poet when she was just starting out and have followed her closely since then. She is passionately involved with her material, formally interesting and always probing for new possibilities. I read the book in man ...more | |

| I suppose one has to be enamored of one or both of these poets (which I certainly am--both are in my pantheon) to turn to this book with excitement. But I'm glad I did. It provides a good insight into both their friendship, and the growth of Levertov ...more | |

| Many years ago a mid-list novelist I know dismissed "The English Patient" as "okay for a poet's novel." And other than being outraged by his condescension, I have tried to figure out what he might mean. I think it is something other than simply a nov ...more | |

| Since I am a Francophile who spent most of the eighties and nineties selling academic and scholarly books in the humanities to a university audience, I watched the rise of French theory very closely. I read some of the books, and engaged in conversat ...more | |

( I did NOT read the Kindle edition, but that seems to be all I can find here) (This is a reread, but the first for this translation. It is in my memory that 56 years ago, or so, we read all of the Aeneid in the original in fourth year Latin at John A ...more |
